Hello all,

I'm appreciated if somebody can confirm this bug.

You add a contact in your address book,
the name is just a single backslash.
Then go Compose window, click the "Contacts"
in the middle window, which will pop up a=20
contact list window, and then you select
the contact named '\', click ok. Then we
back to the compose window, the TO: now
becomes

  "\\" <email at somewhere>

Just send this message, it will reject from mail server
=66rom Sendmail, you get:

  rcpt to: "\\" <email at somewhere>
  555 5.5.4  parameter unrecognized

for postfix, you get:
=09
  rcpt to: "\\" <email at somewhere>
  555 Unsupported option: <rafan at infor.org>

I have traced down this a while, the double
backslashes comes from imp/templates/contacts/contacts.inc:

  fullname =3D fullname.replace(/\\/g, '\\\\');

However, seems it does not working with smtp servers.

I'm running about Jul 22's HEAD version. If you can't=20
reproduce this problem, i'm willing to know what's your
configuration to avoid this. If this is confirmed, I hope
this can be solved ASAP. it's really annoying.

Regards,
Rong-En Fan
