Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: seahorse

I just looked for a colleagues PGP key in order to add it to my keyring
as a test. While I found his key OK, it seems to be being parsed badly
by seahorse.

His key is of the format:

"Firstname Lastname (Firstname Lastname) <a.n.ot...@domain.com>"

Seahorse is parsing this as the following

Name: Firstname Lastname
Email: <a.n.ot...@domain.com
Comment: Firstname Lastname

There's an extra character appearing in the mail address. Another
example of this can be seen in key 0x877B48D7 (look it up on pgp.mit.edu
and then compare this with the parsing that seahorse does). It seems to
be reproducible with any key containing some text in parentheses. If
there is no text in parentheses present then the email address is
extracted from the key correctly by seahorse.
