Public bug reported: Binary package hint: evolution
Ubuntu release: Lucid 10.04 LTS Evolution version: 2.28.3 When sending emails to contacts whose "nicknames" include a title and/or a middle initial, Evolution seems to mess up the name and email address. The problem appears to be traceable to a full stop somewhere in the nickname. An email to "Joe Bloggs <[email protected]>" behaves as expected: the email actually is sent to the specified name and address. So also for "Mr Joe Bloggs", "Joseph Q Bloggs" and "Mr Joseph Q Bloggs". However, as soon as I use a full stop in the name or the title, things go horribly wrong: "Joseph Q. Bloggs <[email protected]>" becomes "Joseph Q.Bloggs <[email protected]>" (note the disappearance of the space between Q. and Bloggs). While in this case it's not fatal, matters rapidly get worse... "Mr. Joe Bloggs <[email protected]>" becomes "Mr.JoeB <loggs [email protected]>". Somehow, the presence of a full stop causes the program to unify the name into one string, which is then cut off at the sixth character. "Mr. Joseph Bloggs <[email protected]>" is similarly turned into "Mr.JosephB <loggs [email protected]>". "Mr. Joseph Q. Bloggs <[email protected]>" is turned into "Mr.JosephQ <.Bloggs [email protected]>". This problem occurs whether the nickname / address combination is selected from the Address Book or typed in by hand.
