Description Jelmer 2009-11-03 10:39:20 UTC 
Version:           1.9.10 (enterprise35 20090918.1030082) (using 3.5.10, Kubuntu (hardy) 4:3.5.10-0ubuntu1~hardy1.3)
Compiler:          Target: i486-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.24-25-generic

When using the search field in kmail, the unquoted parts of the From header are not searched:
In the following example:

From: "Mister Name" <name@company.com>

Searching for "company" will not result in finding the email (unless "company" is in the text somewhere, but that is not always the case)

When the From header is simply name@company.com without a quoted name, everything works as expected.

Thank you for taking the time to file a bug report.

KMail2 was released in 2011, and the entire code base went through significant changes. We are currently in the process of porting to Qt5 and KF5. It is unlikely that these bugs are still valid in KMail2.

We welcome you to try out KMail 2 with the KDE 4.14 release and give your feedback.
