[Kolab-devel] [issue3411] kmail drag and drop (DnD) of email addresses with umlauts from reader to composer exposes encoded-word encoding

[Marc Mutz]

New submission from Marc Mutz <marc at kdab.net>:

Try this:

Open a mail where sender or recipient's display-name contains umlauts.

Open a composer window.

Drag the mailto: link of the email address with the umlaut from the reader into 
an address field of the composer.

Then
   Mirko Böhm <...>
is turned into
   Mirko =?utf-8?q?B=C3=B6hm?= <>
exposing the encoded-word used to represent the umlaut in ASCII-compatible form 
to the user.

What's worse: Unless corrected, when sending, this is turned into
 To: "Mirko =?iso-8859-1?q?B=F6hm?=" <...>
which is illegal (encoded-word in quoted-string), even though for display 
purposes KMail still decodes the encoded-word, so it's not directly visible 
after a draft-reedit roundtrip (or in the outbox).
