You mean charset different than UTF-8?
But this "else" refers to the case when no charset+encoding is specified, so
it should really default to UTF (IMO)

You mean charset different than UTF-8?

I'm not sure because I observed some strange behavior - just played around
with the test code until it worked. The most frustrating was to see all
looks fine in the test program and after sync it was mangled in the address
book. So I did some testing on the parseVCard until I found out it works
thebest when passing c_str(). I tried all options that were highlighted in
the thread here or in syncevolution.

Thanks for explanation on the above. I think it is pity I do not have more
time to track it further, but I still do not understand when you say it is
equivalent to .... and the code will fail if encoding is set.

In vCard 2.1 you have the option to specify charset+encoding
In vCard 3.0 it looks like it is default to UTF and I've not tested
charset+encoding

The code I produced operates based on what is coming from syncevolution and
offers vCard 3.0, so we receive automatically UTF input. Perhaps I should
test with vCard 2.1. Or better someone else, but this is good point to make
a todo note.

thanks again, appreciated
