CSV: Excel CSV import returns an SYLK file format error

Apparently some versions of MS Excel will throw errors opening our CSV files if the very first characters in the file are “ID” – as it incorrectly assumes they are SYLK files and fails to properly load them.

For the time being, I’m setting the “status” of this issue as Won't Fix but I’m willing to discuss and interested in feedback from the community.

According to the following, two possible simple fixes for this are to ensure the file is UTF-8, or rename the field to “Id” instead of “ID”.

Of course, if someone wrote some code that was case-sensitive, they’d have to fix it.

@jawalonoski I did 😄

I updated the wiki to reflect this change
