Additional information
vcard format is indeed a .vcf file
I don't have this problem with other contact manager applications.
This is caused by a recent switch to vCard 4.0. The solution is to either limit exports to vCard 3.0 or allow users to choose.

OK thanks How can I do that, limit export to vcard 3.0 or allow user to choose ? No such things in parameters.
I didn't mean an in-app solution. A code change is required.
User choice seems the most appropriate thing to do
