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.
