The vCard specification requires commas to be escaped (a backslash is in front of them). However, Outlook and Windows Address Book do not "un-escape" the comma character. This is apparently not resolved in Outlook 2003 either. I tried stripping it out, but it wasn't working properly. I think I will leave it the way it is for now.

As an Auto vCard user, no changes are required in your org. The script that runs on the arrowpointe.com web server was updated with the change. The link in Salesforce.com stays the same.

Perhaps you forgot to upload the latest version after you resolved the problem?
