Good point, I probably should such a guide somewhere. If you have some
suggestion where it belongs and what it should describe, feel free to
write something.

Exactly the right approach.
Thanks, perhaps I'll see about writing something. The thing is that
there doesn't seem to be any order in the current wiki, so its not at
all clear what goes where....

Does it show up when you edit the contact? To me this sounds a bit like
a problem in Evolution's contact preview, because there is nothing wrong
with a vcard which has multiple business phone numbers.
I'm not sure what a good workaround for this could be in SyncEvolution.
We can do all kinds of mangling of the phone numbers before passing them
to Evolution, but what would be the desired format in this case, and how
do we detect the situation?
Yes, further investigation seems to reveal that this must be fixed on
mobical's end. That's another year of dealing with this, then... =)
Thanks Patrick.
