--- Begin Message ---Package: mutt Version: 1.5.22-2 Severity: normal Hello! I had my email aliases file in this format: alias js [email protected] (Joe Shmoe) alias of [email protected] (Other Friend) And that worked very recently (I think in 1.5.22-1 but I haven't verified that.) By worked, I mean I: 1. Have mutt open 2. press "m" to start a new message 3. type "js" at the "To:" prompt, then hit Enter 4. enter a subject, press enter result: To: line in vim shows: Joe Shmoe <[email protected]> With vim 1.5.22-2, it instead shows: [email protected] (Joe Shmoe) As a work around, I've converted my aliases file to use the other syntax: alias js Joe Shmoe <[email protected]> alias of Other Friend <[email protected]> And now I get the working result described above again. I consider this a bug because: 1. This used to work (and I think without a upstream version update.) 2. ``man muttrc`` says that both of these are excepted formats. Here's an excerpt from ``man muttrc``: alias [-group name [...]] key address [, address [ ... ]] [...]The address may be specified in either format, or in the format “[email protected] (User Name)”. There's gramatical and formatting-consistency issues in that paragraph of the man page, but it seems quite clear that the following is valid syntax: alias js [email protected] (Joe Shmoe) I'm not married to that old syntax (I don't even like it) but I think support should not be dropped by a debian patch, and when/if it is dropped, the man page needs to be updated. Thank you so much for your time, and so sorry that I'm too lazy to downgrade to 1.5.22-1 to test if that version's borked too. If you can't replicate this, let me know and I'll downgrade and investigate further. Thank you, -- Jason -- Package-specific info: Mutt 1.5.22 (2013-10-16) Copyright (C) 1996-2009 Michael R.
