We actually need to do the quoting in IMP rather than Turba - since a 
group name with a period in it is entirely allowable in Turba, any 
return from a contacts/search call should return the canonical list 
name.  We only need to RFC 2822 encode the group name if we are 
dealing in an application that will use the group name in an e-mail 
context (i.e. IMP).



Fixed in IMP HEAD and 4.1.3.

Group names with dots need to be quoted according to RF2822.



Michael, I tried it with this (ugly) patch:

$listatt['__key'], 'source' => $source);

                          }

                      }



But this resulted in inconsistent results when I expand names with 
ajax or use the address book popup. Maybe you have a bright idea?

I get this message in the compose-window when sending a mail to a 
group-name which contains a dot ( . ) and the mail won't get sent.

The same groupnames worked fine in IMP 4.0.3 and Turba 2.0.2.

When and where do you get that message?

When groupnames from Turba containing a dot ( . ) is used as 
recipients I get an error: "Group name did not validate".
