Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: Folder and Message Lists, defect)

Description

[Lukas Brueckner]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.8) Gecko/20100722 Firefox/3.6.8
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.7) Gecko/20100713 Lightning/1.0b2 Thunderbird/3.1.1

This is more a minor cosmetic issue, but I feel still worth reporting.
When receiving a message and the sender has special characters in his sender name (like german umlaute), the entry in the from column in the message list is sourrounded with quotation marks.
I feel like it should be displayed like every other row as it creates an unnecessary emphasis on the item with the quotation marks.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Receive a message from someone with umlaute in his sender name
2. Look into the message list
Actual Results:  
The from column entry is surrounded with quotation marks.

Expected Results:  
No quotation marks should be displayed.

This is a general problem, not only concerning addresses containing umlaute. See here https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=273884 Bug 273884 for an older description.
