Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: evolution

Description:    Ubuntu 10.10
Release:        10.10

evolution:
  Installed: 2.30.3-1ubuntu7.3
  Candidate: 2.30.3-1ubuntu7.3
  Version table:
 *** 2.30.3-1ubuntu7.3 0
        500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick-updates/main i386 
Packages

I'm using evolution with an Exchange mailbox (via evolution-mapi). I also use 
address book from Exchange server. In most cases I write plain text e-mails.
When I write an e-mail to John Smith  <john.sm...@matrix.net>, I get following 
set of headers:

To: john.sm...@matrix.net <john.sm...@matrix.net>
Subject: test
Reply-To: "iFred" <if...@somecompany.com>
From: "iFred" <if...@somecompany.com>
Message-ID: ...
Content-Type: ...
Date: Tue, 29 Mar 2011 12:26:20 +0200
Mime-Version: 1.0

Two things here are wrong:
1. In "To" header email address is used as recipient name, while in address 
book and during message editing it is displayed in correct way e.g. John Smith 
<john.sm...@matrix.net>
By the way, if address of John Smith is in server address book and has a 
shortcut like "josm", this shortcut is used as recipient name.
2. "Reply-To" header is present, but I left this field empty both in options 
and during message editing. As I understand, if I want to receive replies to 
the same address from which I write e-mails, "Reply-To" header should empty or 
missing. This is correct way, but people (or e-mail clients) often copy "From" 
header to "Reply-To" header.
