Re: [Savannah-hackers] notification e-mail bug

For some reason I cannot manage to get notified of bug changes (new bugs work fine) at my project so I cannot reproduce the problem :/

I have a question: do you receive
From: Yoshinori K. Okuji <address@hidden>
or
From: Yoshinori K. Okuji <address@hidden>
?

I see where to fix the latter, but not the former.

Thanks,

Hello,

First, thank you for fixing the notification system. It was painful
that it was not working.

Well, I found a really minor bug again. In the notification e-mail
from the bug tracker, the name of a person who changes a bug is used in the From field. But the name is not quoted correctly, so it generates an
invalid format, if the name contains any unsafe character. For
example, I have registered "Yoshinori K. Okuji" as my name. Then, the bug tracker generates this line:

From: Yoshinori K. Okuji <address@hidden>

But '.' (dot) is not allowed to appear as a phrase, because it is
defined as one of the specials (RFC 822). So it is necessary to quote
the name like this:

From: "Yoshinori K. Okuji" <address@hidden>
