Without breaking the compatibility of spec-compliant softwares of course!

The link to the bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=589332

In fields encoded as Quoted printable, Thunderbird add an extra space on each line-break.

Try adding one whitespace character (a space or a tab) to the beginning of each folded line. This is what you are supposed to do to each folded line, according to the vCard version 2.1 specification.

Maybe Thunderbird is assuming that the first character of each line is whitespace, so it ignores it (whether it's actually whitespace or not)

  • Yes, it does the tricks, sorry, I should have be more specific in my question : the objective is not to loose compatibility with other softwares ;) But you deserve a +1 ! – Tom Jul 12 '16 at 20:54
