The thread makes me worried for a different reason, especially how many avoid reading the RFC and even saying that the RFC doesn't matter, that there's no standard for csv. maybe there should be an extension for rfc-csv.
Honestly if there is no comma to separate the values, then its not csv maybe Csv for character separate values or asv for anything separates values but you're right, this makes it hard how everyone is doing whatever. IMV supporting "" makes supporting anything else redundant.
It's tricky, but simple enough, RFC states that " must be used, inserting a " is done with "". This makes knowing what a record is difficult, since you must keep a variable that keeps the entire string.
How do you do this simply? you read each line, and if there's an uneven number of ", then you have an incomplete record and you will keep all lines until there is an odd number of ". after having the string, parsing the fields correctly is harder but you can do it in regex or PEGs or a disgusting state machine.
We won't have much choice, last year yahoo implemented a limit on COPY so you couldn't move or delete more than 10 mails at once. this broke claws-mail, I think its good now but I still moved on to another "free" service.
Mixing email with the drive service in the account is actively hostile.
I suppose its the evolution of destroying everything that the previous generation likes in an effort to prove wrongdoing and their own modern superiority.
