That seems to be the case indeed.
SMTP expects something like "MAIL FROM <a at b.c>", and the pretty address 
shouldn't be there. 
No idea how that can happen at all, since KMSender::doSendMsg() calls 
extractSenderToCCAndBcc() to get the From address, and that in turn calls 
extractAddrSpecs( "From" ), which seems to work fine for me.

So sorry, I don't know what went wrong here.

Regards,
Thomas
