GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 621812
Evolution: since Monday 15th June (...
Last modified: 2010-09-30 05:36:20 UTC
since Monday 15th June (don't know if there was an update by Ubuntu distro) the following problem with evolution 2.28.3 on Ubuntu 10.04 when I type contact name inte the "to" field of a new message, I can select which contact for the message and evolution completes the email address. The problem is when I send the message the < at the beginning of the eamil address is moved to after the capital letter of the contacts surname so that the remainder of the surname becomes part of the username - for exaample Neil Redgate <nredgate@ndres.co.uk> becomes Neil R <edgate nredgate@ndres.co.uk> (when I look at the message in the outbox or sent folder) This results in the message not being sent or received. Has anyone come across this problem and can anyone help ? Many thanks in advance Neil Distribution: Ubuntu 10.04 (lucid) Gnome Release: 2.30.0 2010-03-31 (Ubuntu) BugBuddy Version: 2.28.0
can you check in evolution - edit - preferences - contacts? this is activate? and save the contacts in edit - preferences - mail preferences - automatic contacts. Thank
Edit - preferences - contacts: Autocompletion was unselected when I first noticed this (has always been my "default"). Tried selecting auto completion - same problem occurs Edit - preferences - mail preferences - automatic contacts: not selected - prefer to enter my contacts when I wish to do so Tried sending messages when this option was selected and unselected (closing evolution between switches), same problem occurs - Neil Redgate <nredgate@ndres.co.uk> becomes Neil R <edgate nredgate@ndres.co.uk>

the issue is due to the change on bug #619347, composing an email with "One. Bug Email <email@localhost>" is enough to show the issue, it doesn't happen without the commit on the other bug
