Yes it is vCard 2.1.

My assumption was wrong that it was not UTF (may be). It says quoted
printable/utf-8. Could be that the UTF there is misleading?

I attach here some snippets from the log. I see the data properly
converted/mapped to the internal fields, only I don't know at which stage
it is done. The result however in the Addressbook is not readable (for the
cyrillic) and mangled for the ö.

I'll have a look next week as the time window for private work gets closed
now.

Thanks in advance
