FYI:
I have added the following text in a MS Word document: Har?a
Copy and paste it to the home address field of a Google contact.
Exported this contact as vcard.

Result:

BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:3.0
FN:Test
N:Test;;;;
EMAIL;TYPE=INTERNET:test at testabc.nl
TEL;TYPE=CELL:123456789
LABEL;TYPE=HOME;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:=?US-ASCII?Q?Har=EDa?=
NOTE:test person
END:VCARD

So apparently Google vcard version 3.0 does use and has no problem with this
=?...?= encoding.

So that example actually highlights 3 bugs for Google:

1) vCard 3.0 (as specified in RFC 2426) does not permit the quoted-printable
encoding.  In fact GPE does not enforce this and will accept QP in any vCard.

2) QP does NOT include RFC2047 "encoded words" format.  I have no idea how
someone in Google got the idea that RFC2047 "encoded words" has anything to do
with quoted-printable encoding.  Nowhere is that specified as part of quoted
printable in any vCard version.  If QP was to be used the line should read:

LABEL;TYPE=HOME;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Har=EDa

3) The charset in the encoded word is specified as US-ASCII which is a 7-bit
charset and does not contain a character with code 0xED.

Is there any way to report these bugs to Google?

As I said, I will look into working around these bugs in a future release (but
not the upcoming release).  In the meantime, you can fix these lines with some
clever regular expression substitutions on your files.  Where the format
=?...?...?something?= occurs you discard everything except the "something" and
in the something you replace _ by space.  Unfortunately it is complicated
because this may cross multiple lines (in practice, the line breaks, if any,
will be in the "something" section -- they need to be preserved).

Graham
