32251 - Address Book Import for non-ascii entries is not working in .TAB or TXT format

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Address Book & Contacts, defect, P3)

Description

[marina]

When importing Address Book containing non-ascii ab cards in tab or txt format 
all non-ascii input is trancated after the ascii chars.
Steps to reproduce:
-go to 4.x and Export AB with non-ascii entries;
-in Seamonkey open the Address Book, go File|Import and import this AB chosing 
cvs or txt format;
//note: on the left thread pane the name of the AB is displaying  correctly all 
non-ascii chars but this is not true for address book cards in the right thread: 
they are truncated after the ascii chars
(the Import works OK for LDIF format and i don't see any AB showing up in CVS 
format, it doesn't look like this feature is working)

Mail Review recommends beta2 stopper.

Mass moving M16 to M17 - look for nsbeta2 before anything else.

Putting on [nsbeta2+] radar for beta2 fix.

Can I get a sample file?  The tab file exported from 4.x would be fine.

Actually in 2000-06-01 i see the correct display of non-ascii after importing 
txt or tb delimited format, the only problem i still see is the one described in 
bug report # 32931.
