Description Alexander Hunziker 2008-01-25 10:46:17 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
Evolution doesn't tolerate Umlaut (ä,ö,ü) and other special characters in Names very well. For example, a friend of mine has the last name Jordö. I can enter that in the address book just fine, but when i enter this address to a contact list, it gets distorted as follows: Marie =?ISO-8859-1?Q?Jord=F6?= <her@address.com>

Steps to reproduce:


Actual results:


Expected results:


Does this happen every time?
