Description
Describe the bug
I can't add commas to mail recipients
To Reproduce
Start writing an e-mail.
Paste this into the to/cc/bcc fields:
"h, b"<h.b@example.com>
Expected behavior
it pastes the string instead of deleting it due to the comma in the naming string.
Answering e-mails works fine and keeps these names but you cannot write or paste names with commas within K9 itself.
Environment (please complete the following information):
- K-9 Mail version: 5.7.34
- Android version: 10, Havoc OS 3.12
- Device: OnePlus 3T
- Account type: irrelevant, IMAP
Logs
I could take some logs but reproducing this is easy.
