speaking from memory.  I found an addressbook application that accepted csv
input and allowed proper customisation of fields.  Once you have imported
your addresses etc, it allowed export to several formats including vcard.
 I got all my old addresses onto my Android phone using that.  I am fairly
sure the addressbook application for Ubuntu was kaddressbook.

Thanks Barry I will go through this first. Frankly I do not mind if it is
evolution, thunderbird or sylheed. Kaddress sounds kde.

Thanks Robert. I will look for a vcard template if Barry's idea does not
woek.
