#3050: Mutt sometimes changes the order of realname and address when displaying "From: " headers
Changes (by pdmef): * priority: major => minor * component: mutt => display Comment: This is a known feature and works like this for years. This feature is called "exact address" and is a compile-time feature, look for EXACT_ADDRESS in the output of 'mutt -v'. The reason this is a compile-time option is that it wastes lots of memory and is in general not useful. Mutt needs to decode the From: header into name and address to check e.g. for your alternate addresses, index display, patterns etc. For the pager, it generates a From: header out of this internal representation. In order to display the original header, mutt needs to keep the full original line around in addition to the decoded one. To solve this problem, you can pipe the message through "less" to see its raw contents. -- Ticket URL: <http://dev.mutt.org/trac/ticket/3050#comment:2>
