Description Tristan Miller 2017-02-05 17:59:06 UTC 
The vCard standards generally require certain characters to be escaped when used as part of a field value.  These characters include commas (\,), newlines (\n or \N), backslashes (\\), and semicolons (\;).  Claws Mail doesn't seem to be aware of this rule; when displaying field values, the escape character is displayed literally.  For example, take the following vCard:

BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:3.0
CLASS:PUBLIC
EMAIL:webmaster@example.com
FN:Webmaster\, Example Industries
N:Webmaster;;Example Industries;;
UID:EjqLRGm4gL
END:VCARD

This gets displayed in the Claws Mail address book and in the drop-down address completion as "Webmaster\, Example Industries".  It should actually be displayed as "Webmaster, Example Industries".

Only version 2.1 vCard is suported in Claws Mail, which uses quoted-printable to escape such characters.

Version 3.0 (like yours) or greater are not supported yet, so I'm turning this into an enhancement request.
