            Bug ID: 3235
           Summary: Extraneous double quotes inside base64-encoded From
                    header confuse 'Reply' action
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: Claws Mail
           Version: 3.10.1
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: UI/Actions
          Assignee: users at lists.claws-mail.org
          Reporter: mgorny at gentoo.org

We have a person using Thunderbird whose mails carry the following header:

  From: =?UTF-8?B?IlBhd2XFgiBIYWpkYW4sIEpyLiI=?= <phajdan.jr at gentoo.org>

If you decode the base64, you'd see (with literal double quotes):

  "Paweł Hajdan, Jr."

In the message view, the header is displayed as:

  From: "Paweł Hajdan, Jr." <phajdan.jr at gentoo.org>

If I click the address, everything works fine. However, if I try to reply to
him, claws-mail splits the address into two parts:

  To: ""Paweł Hajdan
  To: Jr."" <phajdan.jr at gentoo.org>

which obviously results in broken mail that gets queued and refused by server
afterwards.
