exporting contacts information to vcards format (charset ?)

[Luciano A. Ferrer]

Hi!

I need to export my book address (contacts), and I have a few categories...
so, to keep them I have exported it using the way that generates a vcard
file for each contact in that category, making a directory with a lot of
files by category

But wich is the encoding of the vcard files generated?
I can not read it properly on a windows box... all the vcards have
"something" between each character of content...

Is there any way to convert this vcard files to another charset, or
something like that?


TIA, and sorry for the bad english

Apparently vcards are saved in utf-16...

Is there any way to convert a LOT of files from utf-16 to utf-8 or
iso-8859-1?
