Error description

  • Vcard from third party vendor cannot be imported into Notes 8.x
    contacts.
    
    When you open the .vcf attachment with a text editor there

    attachment.
    
    Notes only supports 4 semi colons in the name field.

  • Open the .vcf attachment with a text editor.
    
    Delete the 5th semi colon on the Name line, there should only
