[Bug 158313] Email Address with é parsing error

[Félim Whiteley]

Public bug reported:

Hi,

Noticed this error just recently on Feisty and continues with Gutsy.
When I recieve an email to my yahoo mailbox (FYI from an Exchange
Server, not sure if relevent) and download it via Pop into KMail it will
be of  the format:

"Lastname, Firstname" <username at maildomain.tld>

In my case the Firstname contains an E-grave or a é. Inside the Yahoo
interface the Quote marks remain, when downloaded into KMail they are
stripped. Another use who has a only fully US-English characters in
their name the quotes remain, so it has to be the é causing the issue.

Problem is when they are stripped I end up with 2 people in the reply
addresses:

Firstname <username at maildomain.tld>
Lastname at my_default_domain_from_KMail_Send_Options

It actually adds my current kmail default domain on the end of the
Lastname with an AT symbol.

If I try reply in Yahoo's web front end then there is no issue. If there
is anything else you need let me know (SMTP headers etc.)

Thanks,

Félim
