Subject:    Bug#19187: kmail comments in address (RFC822) handling
From:       cwhii () mail ! com
Date:       2001-01-27 2:51:59
[Download RAW message or body]

Package: kmail
Version: 2.0
Severity: wishlist
Installed from: Linux-Mandrake 7.2 CD-ROM

RFC822 section  A.1.4.  Wilt . (the  Stilt) Chamberlain@NBA.US

             The "(the  Stilt)" is a comment, which is NOT included in
        the  destination  mailbox  address  handed  to the originating
        system's mailer.  The local-part of the address is the  string
        "Wilt.Chamberlain", with NO space between the first and second
        words.

There are cases were it is very useful to be able to include a comment
within an address which will not go out in the message. The feature appeared
not to work in:

  KMail [version 1.1.99]

Here is an extract from the message:
