Hi,

Occasionally I get e-mails where the from field is

From: Lastname, Firstname <something@domain>

When I call mu4e-compose-reply (R), this breaks up as

To: Lastname
Cc: Firstname <something@domain>

I suspect that the sender uses a malformed address and the name should
be quoted (is this correct?)

But if I don't want to nag senders about this, is there a way I can work
around it, eg with a hook? I am using mu4e 1.12.9.

best

Tamas

Hi,

Just for the archives:

(setq rfc2047-quote-decoded-words-containing-tspecials t)

solves this.

Thanks! (I had experienced that with a few senders, and didn't know how to solve it).

Best,

R.
