I have added someone to my address book thus:

First: Ivan "the Terrible"
Second: Bloggs
Display: Ivan "the Terrible" Powsland


1)When I type his name in the To field of a message composition, it appears
thus:  "Ivan \"the Terrible\" Bloggs" <xxx@example.com>

2)If I select his name in the address book and click compose, it appears
correctly thus:   Ivan "the Terrible" Bloggs <xxx@example.com>

The mail is sent OK, and when it is viewed in the sent mail folder, the quotes
are correct.

This bug is only trivial, but it's ugly, and was also in 1.4.

Oops - I meant to mask his real name to Bloggs - please imagine that I wrote 
 Display: Ivan "the Terrible" Bloggs 
instead.

Confirmed.  Autocomplete puts the name in within quotes, and escapes the 
internal quotes; so does double-clicking on the contact sidebar.  But "Compose 
To" (or "Write") from the address book, or from a mail envelope which does not 
display the quotes, does not.
