Package: mutt
Version: 1.5.16-2
Severity: minor

The return interface for mutt's query_command is:

  [a set of] line[s] containing a tab separated address then name
  then some other optional information

if the name field includes special characters, such as a comma, mutt
does not grok the address properly. For instance, if my address book
returns:

  [EMAIL PROTECTED] Someone, Company Affiliation\tPalm

then mutt will process this and create two addresses:

  To: "Joe Someone"@localdomain, Company Affiliation <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

I suggest that mutt simply put double quotes around the second field
of the query_command return set. If I tell lbdb to include those
quotes, it works as expected, but I think this should be fixed in
mutt instead.
