contact import fails if there are accents in vcf

hi, I had lot of trouble importing contacts, by splitting the vcf file into many smaller files I found a couple contacts that failed to import. Those contacts have an accented letter in one of the contact fields, (i reproduced it with accented letters on name, address, note) the file is not imported into contacts.

on the vcf file the accented letters à è é ì ò ù are transaled into unicode and the leading sequence is =C0 and then the translation of the accented letter on three characters. The vcf file is marked as unicode encoding.

All VCF files have been generated from nokia PC suite and never touched before import from jolla

I use the Jolla GUI to import contacts.
