[microformats-discuss] Another hCard question

[Greg Falken]

The vCard text for which Outlook didn't display the PO Box is:

BEGIN:VCARD
PRODID:-//suda.co.uk//X2V 0.6.18 (BETA)//EN
SOURCE:http://207.212.194.15/contact.aspx
NAME: Contact Emerson & Associates
VERSION:3.0
N:Emerson;Linda;;;;
FN:Linda Emerson
EMAIL:info at emerson4biz.com
ORG:Emerson & Associates
ADR;TYPE=work:P.O. Box 44;;;Twain Harte;CA;95383;;
TEL:(209) 586-4464
URL:http://www.emerson4biz.com
END:VCARD

I'm using Outlook 2003 SP1, under Windows XP Pro SP2. Your suggested
workaround worked (i.e., the address is displayed properly in Outlook), with
the new ADR data being:

TYPE=work:P.O. Box 44;;P.O. Box 44;Twain Harte;CA;95383;;

Thanks again,
Greg

This is the second vCard related Outlook quirk that's been reported
recently.

I think that's sufficient to start taking some notes on the wiki:

 http://microformats.org/wiki/vcard-implementations

Could you please add some details (perhaps a plain text quote of the entire
vCard, and version/OS information on Outlook)?

Also, as a workaround for Outlook you could perhaps state:

 <span class="post-office-box street-address">P.O. Box 44</span>

Which will put it into both sub-properties of ADR.

Thanks,

Tantek
