Hi,

I want to send myself a text file in an email via evolution. In 
evolution there is a contact for myself consisting of my name and an 
email address. I right-click on the specific file I want to send and 
choose "Send to". I choose "Send as: Email (Evolution)" and begin to 
type my name into the "Send to" field. After having typed the first 
letters "Fab" I click on the suggested "Greffrath, Fabian 
<fabian at xxgreffrathxx.com>" - all love autocomplete! I confirm by 
clicking on the "Send" button, an evolution composer window opens and 
I write my text and send the email.

So far so good, except for the fact that evolution has actually sent 
two (!) emails: One at "Greffrath" and one at "Fabian 
<fabian at xxgreffrathxx.com>". I believe this happened, because 
evolution has interpreted the parsed email address as a 
comma-separated list of two addresses while the comma was only to 
separate my first name from the last name.

Please have a look at the attached screenshot.

Best regards,
Fabian
