            Bug ID: 310141
          Severity: minor
           Version: 4.9.3
          Priority: NOR
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
           Summary: When responding to a message, "From" address gets
                    truncatet on non-ASCII characters
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: gonssal at gmail.com
          Hardware: Ubuntu Packages
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: composer
           Product: kmail2

When you choose to respond a message and composer opens, if the "From" field
gets autopopulated with an address that contains non-ASCII characters, it gets
truncated, or at least if its an "á".

The domain I'm using is marcgonzález.com and its the default account when
sending. When i choose to respond a message, address appears as "xxx at marcgonz".
The first time I responded to a message I didn't notice it was truncated so the
receiving server said the address was not valid. Took some minutes to realize
what the problem was.

I understand that the domain is really "xn--marcgonzlez-r7a.com", but it should
be converted transparently to the user, like for example web browsers do. The
domains apparently aren't being converted anywhere in Kmail (for example I have
to configure the accounts as xn--marcgonzlez-r7a.com or they won't work), but I
don't feel that's a bug, rather than a lack of a basic feature.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Receive a message
2. Respond to that message using a default sending account with the domain
containing non-ASCII characters (á in my case)
Actual Results:  
Address' domain gets truncated

Expected Results:  
Domain shouldn't get truncated
