Description kalle.kirjalainen 2008-09-20 13:47:21 UTC
Please describe the problem:
I got an e-mail from a sender where the sender information in the e-mail headers was as follows:

From: n.m sokoli <xxx_xxxxxx@hotmail.com>

In the preview pane of my Evolution mail, the sender address was displayed like this:

From: 	n.ms <okoli xxx_xxxxxx@hotmail.com>

And when I pressed the reply button, the recipient address was also wrong:

n.ms <okoli xxx_xxxxxx@hotmail.com>


Steps to reproduce:
By sending yourself an e-mail with similar sender address and sender name.

Actual results:
See above.

Expected results:
I'd expect Evolution to display the sender address as:

From: n.m sokoli <xxx_xxxxxx@hotmail.com>

Does this happen every time?
Yes

Other information:
I guess it's a simple bug related to regexp or similar methods that are being used to parse the sender address out of the e-mail headers, and it causes it not to work properly in every single case.
