I got a outlook exported email data file (csv-text, utf8 encoded) from my friend.
and I just run import menu on Address Book.

just specify the file type, csv-text, click Next.
then I saw a ugly **** character which there are nobody who can read this.

I use UTF-8 encoding on my own system's default encoding.
Of course, I do convert the csv-text to UTF8, using 'iconv -f euckr -t utf8 blah
> blahblah'
I can read the text out what 'cat blahblah' display to screen.
