Bug Description

Binary package hint: evolution

Evolution 2.28.3-0ubuntu10, Ubuntu 10.04 LTS 64bit

In the last few days I have started experiencing the following problem (I believe an Evolution update was included in an Update Manager run a few days ago)

Recipient addresses added from address book are being changed incorrectly after clicking send. The recipient address of these messages in my Outbox are badly formed and cannot be sent correctly.

For example after selecting my address
Mr. Allan John Kelly <email address hidden> is correct in my compose message TO address box.

After clicking send, viewing the message in Outbox, the TO bcx now has a reformatted corrupted address where the < symbol has been repositioned incorrectly :
Mr.AllanJ <ohn Kelly <email address hidden>>

the issue could be due to bug #229187, I can't confirm the issue though, I tried to:
- create a contact name with space in the name and an email
- compose a new email
- clicked on the "to" button and pick the name in the list, clicked "add", and "ok"
- wrote a title and some text
- sent the email

the email source in the sent folder is correctly formatted and there is no error from the server
