[Kolab-devel] [issue1741] KMail erroneously encodes To: address from address book

[T. Ribbrock]

New submission from T. Ribbrock <itsef-admin at brightsight.com>:

Kontact proko2.1.7 on SuSE 10.0 (KDE 3.4.2/Qt3 3.3.4):

- Go to address book
- Create a new contact, e.g. for "M. Mustermann", with e-mail address
"mustermann at dom.ain" and store
- Go through the list, select the "Mustermann" entry and right-click on it
- From the context menu, select "Send Email to Contact"
- Composer comes up with the "To:" field containing the address in encoded form.
For "mustermann at dom.ain", this looks like
=?utf8?b?Ik11c3Rlcm1hbm4sIE0uIiA8bXVzdGVybWFubkBkb20uYWluPg==?=

This also works for existing entries in the address book. When using a valid
mail address, the mail will be sent correctly, but the odd looking address
confuses the hell out of some users... :-( Given that there are no special
charactes in the address, this encoding seems unnecessary.
