[kmail2] [Bug 365119] KMail 2 does not add distribution lists/contact groups from KAdressbook properly (simple word, not addresses)

--- Comment #2 from Edward Viesel <Edward.Viesel at bornepost.eu> ---
I found a similar bug in KMail2 (version 5.1.3):

For a client, I imported into a a clean install of Kubuntu 16.04 some groups as
an LDIF file that had been originally created under "The Bat" under Windows
(exported from there).

Everything went fine, even the German umlauts (ö,ä,ü) were imported into
KAdressbook properly. When I do a right click on a group in KAdressbook and
choose "Send an e-mail", a window in KMail opens, and all the group members
with correct names in the format FAMILY NAME, FIRST NAME are displayed,
followed by the correct e-mail address in angle brackets.

When I open a new e-mail in KMail and select the group after clicking on the
button "Choose" (or perhaps "Select") on the right hand side, I can choose the
group and the group members are added (unlike in my own personal instance, as
described above), but the name is wrong: It takes the form of "FIRST NAME /"
(i.e. the first name followed by a forward slash [I think, I haven't got it
before me; either "/" or "\") instead of the family name). The e-mail addresses
are all correct.

As I said, in KAdressbook everything looks fine, and this is also a workaround:
simply create a new e-mail for the group from KAdressbook, not KMail.
