Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: evolution
When sorting a folder by the "To" column, I would expect (and want) the
column to be sorted by the email address the message was sent to;
instead, it appears to be sorted by the literal text of the "To" column,
which often contains a realname followed by an email address in angle
brackets. The major purpose of sorting by the "To" column, for me, is to
group messages via the mailing list they were sent via; however,
different people use different realnames for mailing lists, and as a
result messages to the same list often do not end up together.
