Intrepid: Since update, Evolution has a problem with mail distribution lists

[oss_test_launchpad]

Binary package hint: evolution-exchange

Testing with a company Exchange server which has a Global Address Book on it with pre-defined mail distribution lists (i.e. you would send an email to "AEW" if you want to send it to "all electricity workers").

Since some update a while ago, Evolution has started to resolve these mail distribution lists' abbreviations, i.e. when you send a mail to "AEW", each receiver will get a mail with ALL receivers' names in the "To:" field, if if it be quite a number of recipients. This looks quite strange and makes the handling of emails bad for the recipients.

thanks for the report, may you send this upstream at bugzilla.gnome.org since you're having the issue ? for forwarding instructions please have a look to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME; leaving this as incomplete until that, thanks in advance.

Actually I think my technical knowledge is too limited to file upstream bugs. Maybe someone else could do it?

Hi,
 we have the same problem in our organization!

Pedro, so this package not supported by Ubuntu?
