[bobby692]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.7) Gecko/20060909 Firefox/1.5.0.7
Build Identifier: http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/releases/1.5.0.7/win32/en-US/

The IM field (called Screen Name) in the UI is not exported when exporting the addressbook to a CSV file. The resulting CSV file does not have a column for the field. When exporting to a LDIF file, the field is placed in the nsAIMid field.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create an addressbook record
2. enter something in the Screen Name
3. Choose menu Tools/Export...
4. Save as Type Comma Separated (*.csv)

Actual Results:  
first,last,display,nickname,e-mail1,e-mail2,work, ...

Expected Results:  
first,last,display,nickname,e-mail1,e-mail2,im,work, ...

Running Windows XP SP 2, not tested on other OS
Contacts were originally imported from an LDIF file created with Perl
to move address records from another program.

IM field = Screen name field. Therefore this is a duplicate of bug 261882
