Bug Description
Binary package hint: nautilus-sendto
My Evolution addressbook has its contents sorted in the "Lastname, Firstname"-scheme. When I select contacts from the addressbook as recipients for mail, Evolution simply writes a comma-separated list of "Firstname Lastname". So far everything is fine. However, when I try to send a file via nautilus-sendto, the intended recipient's name (of course even if it is just one person) appears as "Lastname, Firstname" in the "to" field. If not corrected manually, this leads to Evolution considering "Lastname" and "Firstname" separate addresses - which results in a failure to send the mail.
TESTCASE:
* right click on a file in nautilus
* select the sendto option
* select evolution in the nautilus-sendto combo
* start typing a name which is in your evolution addressbook and use the "One, Two <email>" format
* click on send
using the buggy version the "to:" contains "One, Two <email>", using the correct version that's "One Two <email>"

This is still an issue in hardy release. Perhaps the name should have quotes added around it. At the moment evolution treats the comma as a separator between email addresses and so will try to send two emails: one to 'Lastname' and one to 'Firstname <email@address>'.
