Bug Description

Description of the crash:
When messing about int the TO: field you can get Evolution to crash.
(Or at least in Ubuntu.)

Steps to reproduce the crash:
1. Put this in the TO field when composing a new e-mail:

"Here, Me" <email address hidden>,

2. Using just the keyboard remove the [ "Here, Me" < ] part (so it only
says:
<email address hidden>>,

Then remove the other '>' at the end, now you should have:
<email address hidden>,

(with a space at the end that Evolution puts there automatically)

3. Remove the trailing space at the end, after the comma.

Expected Results:
Evolution crashes.

How often does this happen?
Every time

Additional Information:
If it doesn't work with these instructions, just try messing around in
the TO: field a bit... ;-)
