Bug ID: 459050
Summary: snippet variable reliably picks middle name instead of
family name
Product: kmail2
Version: 5.20.3
Platform: Ubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: composer
Assignee: kdepim-bugs@kde.org
Reporter: bugs.kde....@ad.gelduntergang.biz
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
when you use the family name variable in a text snippet for kmail, but the
from/to address name consists of more than two text strings, kmail consistently
uses the second string for family name. most of the time, this is wrong and
picks a middle name (perhaps depends on the language).
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. add a new text snippet in kmail's mail editor, e.g. call it "family name"
2. from variables, choose "To" -> "family name in To: field"
3. put "first middle last <f...@example.com>" in the To: field of the new email
4. use the "family name" template (drag & drop or double click)
OBSERVED RESULT
editor shows "middle".
EXPECTED RESULT
editor should show "last".
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
this is the current backports packages for kubuntu 22.04, but this issue is
acutally bugging me for years, it's not exclusive to a certain version or setup
and likely still not fixed.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
handling addresses in the form of "last, first" <f...@example.com> also seems to
be broken (produces an empty string).
