My users keep adding special characters in their addressbook screen names. Problematic ones are e.g. ",", ";", etc.
I'm not sure if RFC720 is the latest and greatest for this definition, but here it is:
"Address Specification Syntax for Network Mail" http://www.rfc-editor.org/cgi-bin/rfcdoctype.pl?loc=RFC&letsgo=720&t...
Name = {An Ascii string without carriage return, line feed, space, '"', ",", ";", or any L-Bracket or R-Bracket} / '"' {An Ascii string with any double quotation marks doubled} '"'
So I think adding double quotes around the name would help a lot - while double quotes need to be -uhm- doubled.
I've tried to do that in ./program/steps/mail/compose.inc:

This does not work completely though - e.g. program/include/rcube_imap.inc has to be changed too (others?).
And when I send a mail with a to like To: "Walter "" Thomas" mail@example.com
it results in To: "Walter " " Thomas" mail@example.com
I am not sure if that is done by roundcube, the MTA or my MUA (mutt)?
Or did I get the RFC wrong?

PS: I think mutt is not the reason - the raw mail already contains this header.
