           Summary: Dots "." as in "Dr." lead to empty or wrong FROM
                    information in the mail (From: unknown)
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 2.0.89
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: rm at anracon.de


Version:           2.0.89 (using KDE 4.5.85) 
OS:                Linux

I have a PhD. In Germany this is very often used as a title (Dr.) information
in one's name.  E.g.: Dr. Ralph Moenchmeyer. 

I normally set my name in my Kmail identity to "Dr. Ralph Moenchmeyer". 

Kmail then leaves the "FROM" address field empty when sending mails via a
smtp-server. This leads to an "unknown" sender in the receiving mail client. 

The reason is really the dot in "Dr.". 

As soon as I change my name in the Kmail identiy to "Dr Ralph Moenchmeyer"
everything works normal and Kmail fills the FROM information as expected. 

This bug came with KDE 4.6 Beta. It is not present in KDE 4.5.3. 



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Use a Name in Kmails identity like "Dr. XXX". Then send a mail to your own
account and have a look at the FROM information. Check the complete mail header
As the From field of the mail is empty a receiving mail client as Kmail display
an "unknown" sender.  

Actual Results:  
FROM information of the mail sent is empty. 

Expected Results:  
FROM adress should be filled with sender information.
