If I get email from someone with "surname, name" encoded via rfc2047 in the
From:-header, mozilla breaks apart that name at the comma, even if it is inside
the rfc2047 encoding.
Example:
From: =?ascii?Q?Some=2C_Guy?= <nobody@example.com>
Or (real world example):
From: =?iso-8859-1?Q?R=F6ll=2C_Sven?= <email@ddress.omitted>
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. send email for example via smtp:
> From: =?ascii?Q?Some=2C_Guy?= <nobody@example.com>
> To: user@example.com
> Subject: test
2. read that email with mozilla
Actual Results:
The email-list view shows only the first part in front of the comma: "Some" or
"Röll".
The email's headers view shows only the part after the comma, "Guy" or "Sven".
Expected Results:
Both the headers and the list view should show "Some, Guy" or "Röll, Sven".
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2047.html says:
IMPORTANT: 'encoded-word's are designed to be recognized as 'atom's
by an RFC 822 parser.
So I would not expect an address to be broken by any chacater which is rfc2047
encoded.
