[PATCH 1/3 v2] emacs: Avoid `mail-header-parse-address' in `notmuch-show-clean-address'.

David Edmondson dme at dme.org
Fri Dec 30 01:39:36 PST 2011


`mail-header-parse-address' expects un-decoded mailbox parts, which is
not what we have at this point. Replace it with simple string
deconstruction.
---

Added removal of backslashes from the mailbox part.
