Fixes a bug introduced by a previous bug fix.

Also, includes some sample code donated by Dane G. Avilla, he wrote:

  This morning, I went searching for some Ruby code to parse my wife's
  phone#&addresses Excel file into VCards for use with the Mac she's
  getting for her birthday, and I found your Vpim project.  It was very
  helpful.  I was able to get up and running with your examples in a
  matter of minutes.  In the process of writing code to move from Excel
  tab-delimited files -> VCards I created an additional class that you
  may find useful.

  My VCardField class provides a number of functions for building VCard
  fields so that those unfamiliar with the workings of VCard (like I was
  this morning) can create cards without having to know that they must
  create a field named "TEL" for a phone number.  I'm guessing that most
  people don't want to deal with the mechanics of "Create a field named
  X, with a type of Y to make your work email address show up
  correctly".  VCardField provides an API on top of
  Vpim::DirectoryInfo::Field to make creating VCard fields quicker and
  more straightforward.



Thanks, Dane.

Sam
