Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: evolution
If I receive a mail with the following header
From: foo.bar baz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
it will be displayed by Evolution as
From: foo.barb <az [EMAIL PROTECTED]>
The main bug is with the application that sent the mail, since periods
are not permitted unless quoted.
However, there are many broken systems that produce these headers
(including the mail that led me to discover this) and in fact RFC2822
(Section 4.1) introduces "obs-phrase" which accepts the period.
