Events created with KOrganizer duplicate the identity name inside <>, which creates confusion for downstream applications that don't properly parse the CN and turn it into an email address: "ORGANIZER;CN=Anthony Messina <Anthony Messina>". Additionally, the invites are sent From: "Anthony Messina <Anthony Messina>" <amessina@example.com>" While it may be technically OK do do this, duplicating the identity name doesn't seem to serve a purpose. Please don't duplicate the identity name in <> brackets in the From: or the CN.
I also see this behavior on KOrganizer 24.08.1 on Arch Linux.

Git commit 938b9c13564ddf341e62f0e878f71283f6ec8c6b by Allen Winter. Committed on 26/05/2025 at 14:46. Pushed by winterz into branch 'master'. Fix the organizer name to remove the extra angle brackets The organizer's name was of the form "Name <<Name> <email>>" becuase the KOrganizerEditorConfig::allOrganizers() method returns a Organizer structure with a fullEmail identity since it was used for encyption purposes. Solve this by stripping the name part out of the fullEMail. i.e. fullEMail="Name <email>" becomes "email" M +1 -1 src/editorconfig.h M +5 -3 src/incidenceattendee.cpp https://invent.kde.org/pim/incidenceeditor/-/commit/938b9c13564ddf341e62f0e878f71283f6ec8c6b
