Subject: bug: incorrect encoding of user-full-name
Date: 12 Sep 1998 16:58:22 +0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <m3af45qyhd.fsf@vvv.vsu.ru> (raw)

Hi,

I've set my user-full-name to spell in Russian:

(setq user-full-name "Владимир Волович")

When i send my mails, the From: header looks like:

From: vvv@vvv.vsu.ru =?iso-8859-5?b?KLLb0NTY3NjgILLe297S2Ocp?=

which is incorrect, because the braces () are encoded with my name,
and =?iso-8859-5?b?KLLb0NTY3NjgILLe297S2Ocp?= looks like a recipient's
address. The correct would be something like

From: vvv@vvv.vsu.ru (=?iso-8859-5?b?...?=)

or, preferably,

From: =?iso-8859-5?b?...?= <vvv@vvv.vsu.ru>

(i wonder, why if i do not set user-full-name explicitly, and it
contains my finger data, which uses latin letters, gnus uses the
second form: "Vladimir Volovich <vvv@vvv.vsu.ru>", while when i set my
user-full-name value, gnus changed the format of From: header?)

	Best regards, -- Vladimir.
