1800305 - Failing to import .vcf with Emoji profile pictures - PHOTO;ENCODING=b;TYPE=JPEG:[long string of numbers and letters]

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: Address Book, defect)

Description

[clarugarli]

Steps to reproduce:

1. Export .vcf file from Apple Contacts (making sure at least 1 contact has an emoji profile picture)
2. Import .vcf file through the Thunderbird import wizard (choosing the vCard file option)

Actual results:

The wizard returns an error message stating: "Importing failed unexpectedly, more information may be available in the Error Console."

Checking the Error Console, the error message states: "Error creating vCard properties"

Expected results:

Opening the .vcf file in a text editor and deleting the "PHOTO;ENCODING=b;TYPE=JPEG:[long string of numbers and letters]" and trying the import wizard again, the import completes successfully.

I am unsure if the issue is just present with emoji profile pictures or with any type of picture since the type was JPEG.

Please attach a sample .vcs to this bug.

While creating an example file to attach, I realized that the issue is not the emoji profile picture. By just opening the .vcf file in notepad and, without changing a single thing, clicking save, the import process works flawlessly. This explains why originally when I deleted the profile picture data, the import completed successfully. I've attached the same example file with the only difference being one has been opened and saved in notepad.

Fore more context, the .vcf file has been sent via mail from a MacOS 12.6.1 to a Windows 11 22H2 machine.
