I have yet to upgrade to Natty. If I can update Evolution separately
without
the distro update, I'll gladly give that a try. I currently run
Evolution v2.28.3.
I have tried to get a handle on a pattern of bad behavior. All I have
discovered is
the following:
Given an address {"First Last" <[email protected]>}
I get bad expansion if the address book holds "Last, First". This is
very reproducible.
If there is more punctuation in the quoted part, "Last, First, Suffix"
or "Last, First M., Suffix" or "Prefix, Last, First M., Suffix" and
similar the rate of expansion error is higher. Punctuation between name
parts is one thing. Punctuation also appears
inside of name parts. For example, my last name "St.Andre" or names like
"O'Brian".
I suspect that the address expansion parser chokes on embedded
punctuation
especially when the characters match those used in desired result --
period, comma,
apostrophe, semicolon.
Thanks,
