UNABLE TO IMPORT CSV FILE FROM OUTLOOK 2K2

Before I did the export, only the contact email address (e-mail address removed) [FAKE
ADDRESS] appeares in the E-mail field, and only his name and E-mail address
in parenthesis, Doug Peterson ([email protected]) appeared in the the "Display
as:" field.

The word SMTP did not appear except when I double click the E-mail field for
editing, and a grayed-out "E-mail type:" shows it to be SMTP.

I exported my Outlook 2002 Contacts to a CSV file. In the column headed
"E-mail" Outlook 2002 puts three items:

1. E-mail address
2. Then the word "SMTP" (without quotes)
3. And then the "Display as:" field (usually the full name and the
address again)

These appear all in the one column, NOT IN three separate columns, because
OL 2002 CSV export did not put commas between the "Address", SMTP, and
"Display as:"

The column looks something like "(e-mail address removed) SMTP Doug Peterson
([email protected])"
[THIS IS A FAKE EMAIL ADDRESS IF IT IS ANY PROBLEM WITH SECURITY]

When I re-imported the 856 contacts back into Outlook, only modifying the
Business FAX column to include an aphabetic character so that there are not
two entries for each contact, all the Email addresses are messed up. E-mail
entry nows contains all three of the fields above, NOT just the E-mail
field.

The MS KB Article 305361 descibes how to do this but doesn't say how to fix
the Email.

What did I do wrong? How should the E-mail field in Outlook 2002 look in
the CSV file? How can I recover my E-mail addresses? Help!!!!!

May I be nosy and ask "why?"
