Description Al Cutter 2003-03-07 17:05:07 UTC 
Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what you
are doing.
Description of Problem:

Suprious quotation marks are seen in the From: field of by recipients of
mail sent from Evolution

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Set the Full Name field to the following format: 
Surname, First (Some Company)
2. Send mail to someone NOT using evolution[1].
3. Wait.
4. Examine From: field in received mail.

[1]: Evolution seems to strip all quotes out of the From: field, so the
problem isn't apparent there, I used mutt and have reports of M$ LookOut 
showing the extra quotes too.

Actual Results:

From: "Surname, First (Some ""Company)" <blah@blah.com>

Expected Results:

From: "Surname, First (Some Company)" <blah@blah.com>


How often does this happen? 

With every mail sent.

Additional Information:

Delivery via sendmail version: 8.12.3
All Evolution components are up-to-date as of a few minutes ago according
to red-carpet.
Comment 1 Jeffrey Stedfast 2003-03-07 18:06:13 UTC 
this is an addressbook bug. it's not quoting the addresses correctly.

along the same lines, when I try to reproduce with 1.3:

To: Surname, First (Some Company) <user@host.com>

if you type that (verbatim), then the addressbook will treat that as
two addresses. See message source:

To: Surname, "First (Some Company)" <user@host.com>

if I try to quote the 'name' component in the addressbook entry field:

To: "Surname, First (Some Company)" <user@host.com>

the resulting message source is:

To: Surname, First <user@host.com>

so the addressbook is breaking something I think.
