Bug Description

Binary package hint: evolution

In the "Preferences" / Settings Window, it asked "Nom complet" (= First name + Last name)
and I wrote:

[My Organisation] Mathieu CLÉMENT

(as my boss asked it)

The problem is that he receives this :

"[My Organisation] Mathieu" CLÉMENT

which is... ugly.
I looked in the message headers, and here's the "From:" section:

From: "[My Organisation] Mathieu" =?ISO-8859-1?Q?CL=C9MENT?= <email address hidden>

Thanks.

There's no problem if I replace "CLÉMENT" with "CLEMENT". It's fined, but it needs to be corrected, as it's very common for people to have special characters in their first name and/or last name...
