Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: evolution

Evolution mangles certain email addresses in message headers. When
replying to such addresses, the resulting emails are undeliverable.

When I look at the message source, the address looks correct:

    To: sw.dl.Linux BG <sw.dl.linu...@amd.com>

When I look at the message in any other view than "Message Source", I
get this:

    To: sw.dl.LinuxB <G sw.dl.linu...@amd.com>

The mangled email address also propagates to the CC-header when using
"Reply to all" on such a message. The resulting message is undeliverable
and doesn't reach the intended mailing list.

I see that "sw.dl.Linux BG" should probably be in quotes because of the
space. But the message got all the way to me in this form, so all the
MTAs on the way deal with this gracefully. My MUA (evolution) should be
able to deal with this too.
