vCard Export Corrupts Free/Busy

[Kent]

Using Outlook 2003 SP2, I open a contact and choose Export to vCard file and
the vCard created has a corrupted Internet Free/Busy address.

What do you mean by 'corrupted'? Is it not the same one that's in the
contact record itself?

 

[Kent]

The contact record's Internet Free/Busy field contained
"http://www.aaaaaa.com/FreeBusy/Kaaaaa.vfb" ('aaaaaa' to hide PII) and the
vCard file's Internet Free/Busy field contained exactly
"http://????????????????????best Hill, IL 60435" which seems to be a portion
of the home address portion of the record.

Does that happen for all contacts? I'm curious if it would happen for a new
contact also

 

[Kent]

Just created a fresh contact "New Contact" with title "Limited Data" and an
Internet Free/Busy of "http://www.aaaaaa.com/FreeBusy/Kaaaaa.vfb" that turned
it into "http://????????????????????b/FreeBusy/Kaaaaa.vfb" in the vCard file.
Is it just me or does it do the same thing for you?

I got the same result:
FBURL;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:????????????????????b?=03?=03?=03?=0B?=1F?A?=03?A?A?=03?A?=03=0DZD=01
?=F7

By any chance are you using the IE7 beta? I am on this machine so I wonder
if that's causing trouble.

I am running 6 sp 2 and allow auto updates. "????????b" seems to be a common
thread though.
