Comment 5 for bug 257101

Thank you for the explanation. So I have two questions:

- how do the semi-colons get there in the first place? You can't answer that - it must the the mail client or even the user that created the message I suppose. But it's happening regularly from a variety of senders so it must be common practice, even if it is a violation of standards.

- second question: given that other mail clients manage to interpret the semi-colons correctly, is it not unreasonable to expect Evolution should do the same? I accept this is probably an enhancement request and not a bug, but gee it's a fine line between them.

Right now I'll have no option but to stop using Evo & find an alternative, which is a real shame. I'll follow your suggestion and post this to 'brainstorm'.

thanks

- David
