If you point balsa to a vcard addressbook, it doesn't see all the addresses. It will not see any address with an email line "EMAIL:name@host" but it will find "EMAIL;TYPE=PREF:name@host". It turns out the regexp they are using is looking for "EMAIL;" and misses addresses without any parameters. This has been confirmed by upstream on the balsa mailing list. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. point balsa to any vcard address book that contains "EMAIL:name@host" 2. open the address list in balsa Actual Results: addresses from the vcard without any parameters are not shown Expected Results: all email addresses from the vcard file are shown The developer posted a patch to the balsa list that modifies the regexp. He has also pushed to the balsa git master, so it will eventually show up upstream. In the meantime, I will attach tha patch to this bugreport.
Created attachment 203210 [details, diff] patch to regexp used to find email addresses in vcard file Patch from upstream via balsa mailing list.
Can you paste the upstream link please ?
The patch is attached as Comment #1. Tha balsa home page is http://pawsa.fedorapeople.org/balsa/, and http://mail.gnome.org/archives/balsa-list/2009-September/msg00012.html is a link to the mailing list message with the patch, and one of his responses in that thread says he's pushed into the source. If you need something else, then I've misunderstood - please clarify what else you need.
Added to 2.4.1-r1, thanks for reporting.
