SUMMARY


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Sender has the following name and address:
 "Bli, Mel [Novit XYZ]" <Mel.Bli@novit-xyz.com>

2. I answer the email and send it


OBSERVED RESULT

The email is BOT sent and NOT saved on my server. It is simply gone without any error.

Sorry for the typo. It should read: the email is NOT sent and NOT...

Comment 2 Laurent Montel 2021-06-18 05:46:54 UTC

For me no problem here.
Can you verify with last version ?
Thanks

Yes, it still does not work. I also tried three different smtp servers just to make sure it is not a provider issue.

An email to an address of the following type is not sent nor stored in any KMail folder - it just vanishes:

"Gerald Drißner [blabla.at]" <testtest@test.at>

I assume that it must be related to the two brackets [] as without them, it works.
