Does someone have some examples of vCards that use quoted-printable?   I
have a decent collection of vCards but it doesn't look like I have any
that use quoted-printable [everything encoded is base64].

Anyway, I'd really like to expand my collection of vCards for testing,
so if you have any you are willing to donate please send them my way.
