If any of the recipients of an e-mail has an e-mail address like 'x, y' <z@u.i.dd> then the address is split at the comma. This happens both in the main window and when trying to reply to the e-mail. The result is an incorrect e-mail address, and the e-mail cannot be delivered. The error does not occur if the quotation mark " is used instead of '.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Receive an e-mail as described above.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
The address appears as two addresses.

Expected Results:  
The address should appear as one single address.
Since you haven't provided any data we can look at, I'm going to have to guess, but I bet this is a dupe of bug 254519.
