Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 669925

(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Jan Damme]

Attachment: alt.comp.freeware - news.hitnews.gif

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:6.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/6.0
Build ID: 20110811165603

Steps to reproduce:

Usenet sendersname not correctly displayed, Thunderbird takes a sendersname from my private email list.




Actual results:

It happens with usenet a.c.freeware.

Name of usenet sender: Póoh the Cat
Name displayed in Thunderbird : L.C. den Hartog (from my private email list)
When retrieving the message the first time, name is correct displayed. After a while it changes into "L.C. den Hartog".
Possible this happens after a refresh of the list.

FYI header of usenet msg:
From: Póoh the Cat <supersé[e-mail]>
Newsgroups: alt.comp.freeware

Xref: news.hitnews.eu alt.comp.freeware:9991300

The sender is a kind of wizzkid and possible he was very inventive manipulating the headers.
"Póoh" contains a non standard letter.
BTW other email reader (Forte Agent) doesn't suffer of this name change.

Kind regards,
Jan Damme



Expected results:

Usenet sendersname should stay original.
