Handles e-mail addresses with multiple dots improperly

[Vincent Lönngren]

I'm visiting Japan, and apparently some people here have addresses to there cell phones that look like this:

<email address hidden>

The two consecutive dots confuse Evolution, so it sees it like this: something-.. <-<email address hidden>>. Hence using the reply button won't work when the senders address looks like that, and it will go wrong in all kinds of places.

thank you for your bug report. what ubuntu version do you use? are you sure those are valid emails? could you open the bug on bugzilla.gnome.org if you can trigger the issue it might be easier for you to reply to their comments

I'm using Hardy Heron. About validity, I'm not sure if it is valid according to standards, but these addresses exist and e-mail that is sent to them, or from them, is delivered. The new GNOME bugzilla bug # is 547969.
