Description Divan Santana 2011-10-11 19:45:43 UTC

Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.7.1) 
OS:                Linux

Can't send a reply to any calendar invite.
In a nut shell, kmail2 replies to this address:
<"LastName, FirstName" <flastname@example.com>>

it should reply to this address(I think):
"LastName, FirstName" <flastname@example.com>

It's simply adding extra brackets.

I would think this would be a quick and easy bug to fix so hopefully it makes it for 4.7.3 and it's one less problem for kmail2.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
- I receive a calendar event invite.
- I click accept or deny, kmail2 then tries to send an email reply.

Actual Results:  
- It however gets stuck in my outbox as the smtp relay server doesn't allow an invalid email address in the to field.
- Basically when I send an email to this address it can send but when replying from a calendar event kmail2 adds extra brackets <> as per below example.

Expected Results:  
It sends the reply to the email recipients succesfully.

I have the latest stable kmail 4.7.2.

If I send via davmail locally I can capture the log of the error.
Note this happens with any SMTP server, not just davmail. See below details.

I can confirm this with the described actions and a google-calendar test account. The mail's source is the following:

Hallo all
at first thanks for the great improvements in kde 4.7.4.

I use korganizer 4.7.3 in kde 4.7.4. If I create a new event with attendees I will get the same behaviour as described for kmail2: the recipients addresses are not accepted by davmail, because of the extra <> brackets around the mail addresses:

log from davmail:  

Category:	davmail
Message:		Invalid recipient: RCPT TO:<firstname christianname <firstname.christianname@domainname.de>>
Location:	davmail.ui.tray.DavGatewayTray.displayMessage(DavGatewayTray.java:113)
Thrown:
davmail.exception.DavMailException: Invalid recipient: RCPT TO:<firstname christianname<firstname.christianname@domainname.de>>
	at davmail.smtp.SmtpConnection.run(SmtpConnection.java:141)

It seems to be a bug in a library used by kmail2 and korganizer.

Maybe this helps to locate the bug.

Thank you all for your engaged work. KDE4 starts to become as good as kde 3.5.10 and will be better!

Huge Thanks and Regards!! :)

Comment 6 aldebarab 2012-01-25 20:42:20 UTC

Wowh, quick fix. To check, I wait for kde 4.8.x to appear in debian experimental. No Time to compile myself and looking for "configure" errors.

I will resend confirmation.

Thanks a lot
