Mutt does not show quote characters in address header fields (pager)

Component: mutt Version: 1.5.16

Description

Some users put a comma in their names, but the corresponding (necessary) quote characters are not shown by Mutt in the pager. This gives the Mutt user incorrect/ambiguous information. This also prevents the user from correctly copy-pasting header fields.

For instance, I've sent a message to myself, using:

To: "foo <foo@domain.invalid>, bar" <vincent@vinc17.org>

but Mutt shows it in the pager as:

To: foo <foo@domain.invalid>, bar <vincent@vinc17.org>

which is really confusing.

I've tested this on 1.5.16 and 1.5.18+ (changeset f72fce68ca19).
In both cases it worked correctly, i.e. the lines show up
properly quoted in the pager.

  • status changed from new to closed.
  • resolution set to invalid.

Yes, the problem is due to the patch that fixes bug 2014.

So, I'm closing this bug and will mention the problem in bug 2014.
