Thanks for the suggestion. Yet, why would this be a problem with mozilla? To me, it seems that this is a problem with Windows Contacts which cannot correstly import extended characters, or?
I did check the export file from Thunderbird: all the accents are in place, properly. The "squares" only appear later during the Windows Contacts import process. Has anyone succeeded in importing correctly contacts with extended characters in Windows Contacts?
Alternatively, would you know of a way to transform contacts in a CSV file into a VCARD file?

But "alt" groups are NOTORIOUS for being places where there is
disinformation and all sorts of rubbish.
There MAY be helpful people there, but I re-iterate, there are OFFICIAL
Mozilla forums and newsgroups where the REALLY knowledgeable people hang
