Description André Klapper 2004-07-16 00:32:33 UTC
using evolution1.5-1.5.90.0.200407090432-0.snap.ximian.8.1.

to reproduce: compose an email and send it/save it to the outbox (no gpg or 
anything included).

if the recipient is of the form of one of these email addresses:
- "Dr. John Doe <devnull@iomc.xyz>"
- "John Doe Jr. <doe@iomc.xyz>"
everything is as expected.

if i enter the recipient
"George W. Bush, Jr. <bush@whitehouse.gov>",
this will become
"Jr. <bush@whitehouse.gov>"
okay. i can understand that.

but:
"Dr. John Doe, Jr. <doe@iomc.xyz>"
gets
"Dr.JohnD <oe>, Jr. <doe@iomc.xyz>"

and
"Dr. John Smith, Sr. <doe@iomc.xyz>"
gets
"Dr.JohnS <mith>, Sr. <doe@iomc.xyz>"

there seems to be a parsing/token error.

hmm...not sure about the component. is this mailer or addressbook? 
assigning to mailer, please change if necessary.

Contacts.
Comment 2 JP Rosevear 2005-01-19 02:42:02 UTC
Needs to be rechecked with the new select names stuff.
Comment 3 André Klapper 2005-01-19 11:13:41 UTC
updating state of the art for evolution-2.1.3.2.0.200501160930-0.snap.
ximian.10.1:

Dr. John Doe <devnull@iomc.xyz>
gets
Dr. John Doe <devnull@iomc.xyz>

George W. Bush, Jr. <bush@whitehouse.gov>
gets
Jr. <bush@whitehouse.gov>

Dr. John Doe, Jr. <doe@iomc.xyz>
gets
Jr. <doe@iomc.xyz>, Dr.JohnD <oe>

Dr. John Smith, Sr. <doe@iomc.xyz>
gets
Sr. <doe@iomc.xyz>, Dr.JohnS <mith>

so with the last two ones, it's just the other way round. :-(
Comment 4 André Klapper 2005-03-24 15:08:11 UTC

Comment 12 André Klapper 2021-05-19 12:13:57 UTC
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. 
As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org
which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately
quite limited so not every ticket can get handled).

If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent
and supported software version, then please follow
  https://wiki.gnome.org/Community/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines
and create a new bug report ticket at
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/issues/

Thank you for your understanding and your help.
