Summary:                    Quotes
Description: 
Hi, OE encloses some sender addresses in double quotes when used with
dbmail-imapd (no such problem with cyrus or courier). This is annoying for
the users because it screws up sorting. I have found many references to
this problem on the Web, some stating the bug has been fixed in some older
version, but it seems to be still there. Am I missing something here?

Thanks

Stefano

I have no idea what you're talking about. Some more info would be
helpful...

Hi, sorry for the lack of details, I assumed the problem was known...here's
one of the links where the issue has been discussed anyway:

http://mailman.fastxs.net/pipermail/dbmail/2003-June/003011.html

Simply put, some sender addresses are enclosed in quotes in OE's message
list, like 'John Doe'. 

I know it's no big deal, and if it was *all* the senders it would be a
non-issue, but since it's only *some* sorting is screwed up.

BTW: any plans about server-side sorting?

Thanks

Stefano

Ok. Bug confirmed. I'll start fixing this in trunk.

imap envelope responses require sending of proper address structures. For
this the relevant header (From) needs to be parsed. This is currently
incomplete, i.e. it doesn't support all types of permitted formats.

_imap_get_envelope and _imap_get_addresses both in dbmail-imapsession.c
will need rewriting.

Ok, thanks

I believe OE deserves some attention, because, no matter how buggy or
faulty, it is still the most wide-spread mail client.
