Description Leonid Mamtchenkov 2002-08-14 08:53:49 EDT 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.9) Gecko/20020408

Description of problem:
When sending mail with /bin/mail, it takes user's real name from /etc/passwd and
includes it in From field.  Parsing of the real name is broken, since real name
field in /etc/passwd can contain additional information, like office and office
phone (fill all fields using chfn).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.chfn someuser
2.fill all fields
3.su - someuser
4.mail someotheruser
5.check email from someotheruser
	

Actual Results:  From field looks like this:
From: "John Doe,Redhat Inc.,+123 1 1234567,123 1 1234568" <john_doe@redhat.com>

Expected Results:  From: "John Doe" <john_doe@redhat.com>
