Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: evolution
evolution 2.22.3.1-0ubuntu1
Ubuntu 8.04.1 AMD64
Linux set 2.6.24-19-generic #1 SMP Wed Aug 20 17:53:40 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux
1. Start Evolution
2. Click File > New > Contact to create a new contact
3. Enter contact full name and email address. WHEN TYPING THE EMAIL
ADDRESS PUT A SPACE IN FRONT AND AFTER THE EMAIL.
4. Click OK to close contact dialog and create the contact
5. Click File > New > "Mail message" to create a new mail
6. In To: field type the name of the newly created contact.
Evolution will auto-complete the field with the email address you
entered at point 3.
Note that THE LEADING AND TRAILING SPACES WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE EMAIL
ADDRESS BETWEEN ANGLE BRACKETS. This will cause SMTP servers to reject
the address (it happens with gmail servers for sure).
When user enters leading and trailing spaces in contacts email
addresses, these should be stripped away by the program.
It's good programming practice to always strip leading and trailing
spaces in any input field anyway.

Importance: Undecided
Status: New
** Summary changed:
- Space in Evolution email address prevents mails from being sent
+ Space in front or at end of Evolution email addresses prevents mails from

** Description changed:
