Mail.app messing up reply address for simple email addresses.

[dahacouk]

Anybody else get this problem? When an email comes to me with the following looking "From" field:

From: <person@company.co.uk>

That's with greater than and less than character at the start and end of it. It messes up the reply address.

When I reply to one of these emails Mail.app sets the "To:" field to be:

"person@company.co.uk> <person@company.co.uk" <person@company.co.uk>

When it should just be:

To: person@company.co.uk

Anybody get this behaviour?

Incidentally, you can search for these kinds of simple emails in Mail.app by searching in "All Mailboxes"/"From" for:

> <

That's greater than, space, less than.

Cheers Daniel

Dig around in Windows -> Previous Recipients.

If the malformed addresses show up there you can just remove them.

Just tried that and it didn't help. Can you reproduce the problem yourself?

Take a look at another thread where an expert says this is a bug...
