Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Receive an email from user that has his/her name defined as "LASTNAME, Firstname" 2. Add sender to addressbook. 3. See the addressbook entry just created. Actual Results: Addressbook contains: First: "LASTNAME, Last: Firstname" Display: "LASTNAME, Firstname" Expected Results: Addressbook should contain: First: Firstname Last: LASTNAME Display: "LASTNAME, Firstname"
