782147 - Personal vCard send by Thunderbird are not recognized by Gmail

Status: NEW

(Thunderbird :: Address Book, defect)

Description

[Vincent (caméléon)]

Step to reproduce:
1/ In Thunderbird, add a personnal vCard to your outgoing mails
2/ Send a mail to a gmail address
3/ Open this mail in gmail (in a web browser)
4/ Gmail automatically recognize the vcf file and propose to import it into your contacts.
5/ Gmail fail to import

This may be related to the fact that Thunderbird use vCard 2.1 file format, because if you send the vCard with MoreFunctionsForAddressBook (which use vCard 3.0 file format), Gmail has no problem to recognize and import the vCard.

Maybe fixing Bug 514375 could help?

Marking as dependent of bug 29106 because vCard 3.0 support is required before we can use this format to send a personal vCard compatible with Gmail.

Strange. Gmail has no problem importing this vCard 2.1 (when attached directly):

However, the same card generated by thunderbird fails to import:
