            Bug ID: 296456
          Severity: minor
           Version: 4.7
          Priority: NOR
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
           Summary: Template placeholders for email addresses should
                    actually hold only the email address
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: g2011 at brandyrox.com
          Hardware: Ubuntu Packages
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: composer
           Product: kmail2

Placeholders for email addresses hold a string like so: John Doe
<john at example.org>
The expected behaviour for them would be to only hold the email address like
so: john at example.org - which would also allow for increased flexibility.

The use case I experience is generating a string that will be recognised by the
textile parser of our project management tool (Redmine; see http://redmine.org)
by formatting like so:
"%OFROMNAME":mailto:%OFROMADDR wrote:
- this would be displayed as 'John Doe wrote:' where "John Doe" is clickable in
Redmine.

Getting the old variant (John Doe <john at example.org>) would still be possible
easily with this:
%OFROMNAME <%OFROMADDR>

The affected placeholders are:
%TOADDR
%CCADDR
%FROMADDR

%OTOADDR
%OCCADDR
%OFROMADDR
%OADDRESSEESADDR
