1156245 - Add testcase for Mailing Lists with unusual names, e.g. 'Mailing"List' (having inner double quotes, bug 683685)

Status: NEW

(Thunderbird :: Address Book, defect)

Description

[Thomas D. (:thomas8)]

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #683685 +++

We need a testcase for Mailing Lists with weird names, e.g. containing inner double quotes, to ensure that Bug #683685 does not re-occur.

Bug #683685 (worksforme on trunk 40.0a1 (2015-04-15))

Steps to reproduce:

Using address book, create a new mailing list with the name 'my"list' (without surrounding quotes). The name is not rejected as bad and the list is saved.


Actual results:

Now create a new message and add my"list as a recipient. Now try to send the message. You get an error shown saying this is not a valid email format.

Recipient input will correctly show
my"list" <my"list>

Error msg: "my\"list" <"my\"list"> is not a valid e-mail address because it is not of the form user@host. You must correct it before sending the e-mail.

Expected results (seen on trunk):
As long as we accept such unusual mailing list names, they must work for composing.
