Description Jong Yoon Lee 2010-04-19 15:12:56 UTC

text/vcard MIME type for vCard 3.0 is pending IANA acceptance and it is already in use by CardDAV.  text/vcard should be used instead of text/x-vcard or text/directory.

Do you have a patch for those changes?

Comment 2 Jong Yoon Lee 2010-09-30 10:00:21 UTC

Sorry I don't have the actual patch.  I'm working it around from magic and globs files.  The change will involve something along the line of the following, although it might be missing something.  This is untested.
