Description saint 2010-11-19 22:00:08 UTC
Follow-up to previous report of Evolution TO:address troubles.

Another example of scrambled TO: address
"Mik, e Diaz-Tello <mdiaz.tello@gmail.com>"
(I added the quotes.)

I typed "mdiaz<tab>" and Evolution inserted the string above.
Clearly, outbound email will try "Mik" and "e Diaz..." both of which will fail.

The contact is on file as "Diaz-Tello, Mike <mdiaz.tello@gmail.com>" (I added the quotes.)

ANALYSIS:  I suspect that the format Lastname-comma-Firstname causes confusion to the autocompletion engine.
This might be due to missing quotes around the name:
{"Lastname, Firstname" <something@somedomain.place>}
(curly braces enclose the desired email target address.)
