Most clients support the standard attribues in a pretty straight forward 
way.  I've tested evolution, pine, & eudora.  Turba is configurable.  
Outlook is a very funny beast in what it choses to display,  and there are 
several OpenLDAP FAQ entries about it worth reading (it actually varies by 
version!).
