            Bug ID: 473391
           Summary: Having a special / non-ASCII character in your e-mail
                    address fails to fill in the From field (also when
                    answering calendar invites)
    Classification: Applications
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 5.23.3
          Platform: Manjaro
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: composer

SUMMARY

By default I (am forced to) use as my primary e-mail address <matija [at]
šuklje.name>, which translates to <matija [at] xn--uklje-udb.name>. Since I
changed my primary Identity in KMail to that, it stopped populating the From
field when I’m writing e-mail in KMail.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. set your primary Identity to have an e-mail address with a non-ASCII
character (e.g. š)
2. write an e-mail – either new or as a reply

OBSERVED RESULT

Notice that the From field is empty, even though the right default Identity is
automatically selected.

EXPECTED RESULT

Have the From field populate as expected.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.6
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.108.0
Qt Version: 5.15.10

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

This is quite annoying because for every single e-mail I send, I now need to
manually select the Identity.

In addition, I noticed that answering to calendar invitations through KMail
started throwing errors that it cannot send the e-mail, which I suspect is
connected to the issue with the From field being empty.
