363673 - Wrong display of Recipient in message list

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 273884

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[thbley]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061010 Firefox/2.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061010 Firefox/2.0

When I have a Recipient that contains quotes, e.g. 
To: "Paul Ling" <[e-mail]>
it gets displayed as "Paul Ling" in the message list and Paul Ling <[e-mail]> in the message view.
The recipient should be displayed as Paul Ling in the message list.

Stripping the quotes should be done after decoding the mime string, e.g. mail source
To: =?iso-8859-1?Q?=22Rog=E9rio_A._Gon=E7alves=22?= <[e-mail]>
gets displayed as ""Rogério A. Gonçalves"" in the message list.

These problems stay when I forward a message, e.g. I get:
To: "Rogério A. Gonçalves" <[e-mail]>
in the text of the forwarded message.


When a sender name contains quotes, they are stripped correctly, e.g. mail source
From: "GMail" <[e-mail]>
is displayed as GMail in the message list and the message view.


Version is Thunderbird 2.0 beta 1 (20061211).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Mail source: To: "Paul Ling" <[e-mail]>
2. Mail source: To: =?iso-8859-1?Q?=22Rog=E9rio_A._Gon=E7alves=22?= <[e-mail]>
3. Watch the message list, click forward on the message

Failing to strip the quotes in the Recipient column is bug 273884.

In the case of the MIME-encoded header, we're not supposed to strip the quotes that are part of the MIME-encoding.  We're also not supposed to *add* the quotes within the MIME-encoding, which problem is mentioned in bug 254519, altho that bug is far more focused on the problems with *decoding* such headers.
