266691 - Thunderbird does not include the headers for exported csv files, nor does it understand them for import

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 180057

(Thunderbird :: Address Book, defect)

Description

[Ryan]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10.1

When exporting a csv file with the address book, Thunderbird does not include
any headers. When Thunderbird imports a csv file it does not understand the
headers. I am not sure if this is standards somewhere, but I know gmail and
outlook both use headers. This also eliminates the need for specifying which
field is which. 


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Export address book to csv
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
.csv did not contain any headers

Expected Results:  
Had a headline in the first line explaining each column

Confirmed on Win2k with TB 0.9

Adding dependency on similar mozilla mailnews bug 180057 - they should be the
same code behind the scene, may just need different tweaks to the UI.

Importing now can skip the headers field. Duping this to bug 180057 which is 
now a core bug.
