[orca-list] Thunderbird Address Book and Exporting

[Steve Holmes <steve holmes88 gmail com>]

I'm trying to export my thunderbird address book into a .CSV file but I 
cannot find the file type choices in the export dialog.  Can anyone else 
verify this being a problem?

The steps to follow are like this:

1. Get into thunderbird and choose address book from the tools menu.  
Shift-Ctrl+b ot to do it easily enough.

2. Navigate to an address book with some entries in it.  The one created 
by all your sent e-mails should have some entries in it.

3. Go to the Export dialog by choosing Tools / Export from the menus.

At this point, you should be in a dialog for saving files and the 
current focus will be in the file name text box which accepts auto 
completion.  Pressing Ctrl+Tab should move you out of that control.  
Keep tabbing around and listen for anything to do with file types.  In 
my case, I can't find any.  Can any of you find anything?

When I am in the Windows version of Thunderbird, I do find a file types 
combo showing 3 types of output.  The current default is ldiff and I 
don't wanna use that format.

In the meantime, I have filed a bug in the Mozilla site
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=621191
explaining that I cannot find the file types option anywhere on this 
dialog.  I am using Thunderbird 3.1.7 on both Linux and Windows.
