Package: squirrelmail
Version: 2:1.4.4-6sarge1
Severity: normal

If in squirrelmail, you get a message with a From: header like:

From: =?iso-8859-1?Q?Wolffelaar=2C_Jeroen_van?= <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Which would translate to:

From: Wolffelaar, Jeroen van <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

The reply functionality of squirrelmail will put this address literally in
the To: header, instead of making it like:

From: "Wolffelaar, Jeroen van" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

This causes a simple reply to accidently end up also somewhere else,
unintended. Squirrelmail should add quotes where necessary around escaped
comma's like this.

One can argue that this is a bug in the sending MUA, which should have
added "'s around the name itself. This bug was discovered in a real life
scenario though, and the sending MUA was:

X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft Exchange V6.0.6603.0

Even if this bug gets fixed, it would take a long while until all of these
versions are gone.
