The text of a log message is usually several lines long. To my knowledge, CSV
only allows single line values, that's why I excluded the text field from the
CSV export. This is different in the XML export, which supports multi-line
values. If you teach me however how multi-line values can be represented in
CSV format, I could easily add that.

As for the attachment, do you just need a name, or a URL back to the logbook?
Should the pointer be in the form "http://elog.server/logbook/attachment.jpg"
or in HTML form like <a href="http:/...">attachment</a> ?
