Description Paul Menzel 2017-05-04 07:33:41 UTC
With Evolution 3.22.6, when answering to a message sent from somebody with the line below in the *From* header field

"umlaut ü" <JoeySomebody@example.net>

then in the reply the name is missing in the line preceeding the message quote.

The German localization is used here.

Thanks for a bug report. How does the From header look like in the message source, please? Eventually any Reply-To header, if it's there. I tried with a message which has something like:

   From: =?utf-8?B?......?= <user@no.where>

and it does contain that "deciphered" name in the reply quotation credit line.

Please find the line below.

```
From: =?UTF-8?Q?=22J=C3=BCey_Somebody=22?= <JoeySomebody@example.net>
```

Thanks, I can reproduce it with that From line too.

The umlaut wasn't the problem it was about the quotes. I made two changes:
a) escape special characters in the "credits" line, thus quotes are not significant now
b) remove quotes around name in the credits line, because it looks lame there
