Bug in IMP 2.2.6: Escaped backslash in Preferences/signature

[Fritz Zaucker]

This behaviour can be verified on the IMP demo site at
https://demo.horde.org/stable/horde/imp/

If a backslash is used in Preferences/Signature the backslash is
"escaped" with a second backslash upon saving the Preferences.

This is done by the call to addslashes() in the file
horde/imp/prefs.php3 in line 69:

 if (!(imp_set_signature(addslashes($signature), $imp->user, $imp->server))) {

If addslashes() is removed from that line, no second backslash is added.

The question is if this is save to do there?

Cheers,
Fritz
