RIS notes and abstracts

[I could swear I posted this yesterday, but I don't find it online. Apologies if this is a duplicate.]

The RIS specification at <http://www.refman.com/support/risformat_tags_03.asp>; defines the N1 and AB fields as "Note" and counterintuitively defines N2 as "Abstract". When I export RIS records, Zotero grabs the N1 fields and puts them into its Notes, but seems to throw away anything in AB or N2. So it misses both of the fields where an abstract might appear. Is that an oversight, or is there a reason for it that I'm not seeing?
  • Abstracts in RIS (and elsewhere) are supported in Beta 3, available from the home page (or via Tools->Add-ons->Find Updates for those who installed from zotero.org and not addons.mozilla.org).
