VCard and Outlook problem
I am having problems with VCard encoding, such that my
coldfusion generated VCards are compatible with Apples Address
Book, but remain unreadable by Outlook or anything on a PC.
A link is clicked which sends a persons id to the script which then outputs the details (beginning of script shown underneath).
(I understood that VCard v2.1, not v3.0, would allow me to specify UTF-8 as Charset)
The Outputted VCards look to all intents and purposes correct when opened in Apples Textedit or Microsofts Wordpad, though when opened with Notepad on a PC I can see that line breaks are replaced with a rectangle (suggesting no character) and this is preventing Outlook from reading the details.
Also, the file has no extension and so isn't recognised on a PC as being .vcf.
Anyone shed any light on this?
