Description Jean-François Fortin Tam 2017-12-07 13:34:13 UTC 
I sometimes have to do big mailings (to hundreds of people) based on lists found in spreadsheets.

While I can cleanup those lists with gedit using search-and-replace to replace linebreaks (whether windows or unix-style linebreaks) with commas, it would be pretty neat if Evolution could just interpret those and do the conversion for me directly (I'm thinking in particular for non-tech-savvy office workers who would expect this to "just work").

Thanks for a bug report. It can be in rows, but also in columns, thus I made it transform both '\n' and '\r'.

Created commit bd394fd800 in evo master (3.27.4+)
Created commit 07129d4a74 in evo gnome-3-26 (3.26.4+)

Err, it was meant to be '\n' and '\t'. The '\r' is silently ignored.
