    Description

      When exporting any entries using the RFC 4517 Postal Address syntax (1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.41) to any non-LDAP data format (CSV, Excel, …) these entries aren't decoded but the RFC 4517 escaped data is instead exported as-is, like this:

      \241,000,000 Sweepstakes$PO Box 1000000$Anytown, CA 12345$USA

      … instead of this:

      $1,000,000 Sweepstakes

      PO Box 1000000
      Anytown, CA 12345
      USA

      I think it's safe to assume that no non-LDAP software is expected to be able to decode RFC 4517 escaped data, so not doing this decoding upon export must be a bug.

      (This data is correctly decoded and encoded by default for display and edit within Directory Studio itself.)
