1801274 - Loss of tel type attributes on contacts when sending an email to CardDAV contact

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1792542

(Thunderbird :: Address Book, defect)

Description

[adrien.rybarczyk]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/105.0.0.0 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a contact on a CardDAV address book (for the test I created it from the server (Tested with a Zimbra server) but I have the impression that you can also trigger by creating from Thunderbird)
2. Specify phone numbers with attributes (home, work,...)
3. Send an email to this contact

Actual results:

The attributes (home, work) will be lost.

Example of card sent to server after sending email
BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:3.0
FN:testBobby, test
N:testBobby;test;;;
TEL;TYPE="cell,voice":06
TEL;TYPE="work,voice":04
EMAIL;TYPE=internet:test
REV:20221118T110652Z
UID:282e135b-86e3-459e-8ce6-55160fe9b5a0:31899
END:VCARD

I tested by resending the request from Thunderbird with the above example by removing the " around the phone types. This worked and the attributes were not lost.

---

I tested by changing the attributes in Thunderbird and then sending an email. Same observation, I lost the attributes.
However, when I modified in Thunderbird, there was a difference in syntax (example below)

BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:3.0
FN:testBobby, test
N:testBobby;test;;;
TEL;TYPE=cell:06
TEL;TYPE=work:04
EMAIL;TYPE=internet;PREF=1:test
REV:20221118T110526Z
UID:282e135b-86e3-459e-8ce6-55160fe9b5a0:31899
END:VCARD

I tested the behavior also in Beta version and it is the same.

Expected results:

Do not lose attributes during an email sending.

Bug 1799096 perhaps

Comment 4

[adrien.rybarczyk]

That's right. But it doesn't depend on the OS.

Comment 5

[adrien.rybarczyk]

When you modify the contact directly, it doesn't happen all the time but sometimes there is the same effect.

Comment 6

[adrien.rybarczyk]

Same thing possible for addresses

Fixed in Beta (Bug 1792542)
