[Bug 368620] [NEW] KAlarm does not work with KMail identities

[mbeltagy]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kalarm

When creating a new Email Alarm on Kalarm 2.1.6 on Kubuntu jaunty with
the default mail settings (Use Kmail Identities), it fails to send the
email and I get a server error. It seems to place a extra brackets and
around the KMail address identities. For example if I had an identity
with the name: John Doe and email John.Doe at mail.com. It it report of the
server that the from field is: <John Doe <John.Doe at mail.com> >, instead
of the proper: John Doe <John.Doe at mail.com>.

This extra bracketing cause a parse error at the server and the mail is
not sent. KAlarm, then presents an error message that just refuses to be
dismissed. One has to actual kill the KAlarm process to make it go away.

When one goes to the settings to fix the problem by filling the address
manually, it starts sending emails.. however it sends many copies of the
same email, as all the dismiss popups that wouldn't go be "dismissed",
just place multiple copies on the message in some sort of queue.

Also even if one gets it to work. It does not pop a copy on the sent-
mail folder in KMail (version 1.11.2).
