Bug Description

Binary package hint: evolution

Evolution on Karmic (fresh install). IMAP mail account.

simple to reproduce -> new mail -> send this email without "To" address ... (with subject or not) and tada ! Evolution don't check the "To" field. Empty or with a malform email address, no problem for evolution... it sends it and place it in the "sent" folder. Stop.

Evolution is a very weird piece of software: it seems to focus on very particular features, but forget about the basics.
