Description Isaac 2012-07-26 03:28:26 UTC 
When replying to a post, the first line, which is set to place:
      %NAME wrote:
at the top of the post fails in the case that the From: header is (for example):
    user45 <.@.>
And places only:
     wrote:

The correct result should be:
     user45 wrote:



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Receive a post in which the sender decided to put "myname <.@.>" as the sender
2. Open a reply to such message.
3. Done.

Actual Results:  
The first post line is just "  wrote:".

Expected Results:  
The first post line should read  "myname wrote:".

you have email from foo.@.foo.org ??
Comment 2 Laurent Montel 2012-07-26 06:07:17 UTC 
%NAME doesn't exist as macro.
Comment 3 Isaac 2012-07-26 20:09:56 UTC 
@Laurent Montel
No, I don't have mail. I am reading USENET. If you haven't look, this is KNODE.
Knode is not an Email reader, is a USENET news reader.
And yes, there are users that set their email address to <.@.> to prevent spam.
Don't ask me why THEY do that, I am just reporting the problem I have.

Yes, %NAME is available in PREFERENCES --> SEND NEWS --> EDITOR.
Of course, using KNODE.

Ah ok sorry I received all kdepim bug => kmail/knode etc.
I thought that it was for kmail (as kmail as macro).

Ok I will look at.

Hello! Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this project has been unmaintained for many years so I am closing this bug.
