Re: [Evolution] CSV file will not import.

[johneddie kerr gmail com]

Hello everyone,
I am using CSV because I wanted to place my records in a spreadsheet to
clean them up. 

I exported the Contacts to CSV file and then opened the file up in
LibreOffice Calc and after editing I saved it in CSV. I wonder now
if there is something silly happening with the way LibreOffice Calc
saves my CSV file.

Thank you for your quick response Andre.
John
