41439 - Int chars no longer gets imported correct

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 38844

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

Description

[Henrik Gemal]

When you import a Netscape 4.73 addressbook (.LDIF) danish chars no longer 
appears correct. A danish "æ" æ get imported as "æ".
This used to work!

Build 2000060308

reassign to chuang. cc momoi.  Kat, do you know if this is happening with other
languages besides danish?

Looks like a big regression.
Yes, this used to work during M16.I have a build from 
4/16 on my hard disk and it works with my multiligual
data as well as Latin1 & Japanese data imports with .ldif
files. But another build I have from 5/16 exhibits the
same problem Gemal talks about. So does the build from
6/3/2000.
Nominating for nsbeta2.

It looks like we are misconverting UTF-8 data in .ldif files.

I believe this is the same bug as 38844.  Import utility has convert the UTF-8 
string twice in ldif file.  I have the fix.
