P.S.: I fixed the bad encoding of alsamixer within Terminal: it was
due to a bad setting in Preferences / 'Linux' parser: the default
charset was ISO... so I selected and applied UTF-8 according to my
default locale... So, well, no Font issue.
About GNUMail:
I reverted to the layout "Doe, John" in AddresseManager and tried
several locale settings (LANG and LC_ADDRESS...) but I could not
produce again the issue: very odd...
So, what could have fixed it?
- Resetting Layout in AddressManager?
- Changing charset in Terminal ? (maybe a kind of service between
AddessManager and GNUMail using a script in the background?)

Hi Riccardo,
When I sent the message, the field "To:" is well quoted in the
compose panel:
"Doe, John" etc, for even French or English locale.
I confirm also the error 550 does not happen with LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 in
my
.xinitrc.
But with my default locale, LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, then the message is
returned
and the field is not quoted when I receive this returned message
tagged with
550 error.
I did not have this issue in my previous GNUstep environment tries
(NEXTSPACE, GSDE) and I am guessing about a font inconsistency with
my locale
(fr_FR.UTF-8): French language users are welcome to report their
experience
about this. I also noted some bad caracters rendered in Terminal. It
is
obvious with some CLI apps like alsamixer.
Also I fortunately found a workaround:
- In AddressManager / Preferences: I selected the Layout "John Doe"
with
"Everything". (it was: "Doe, John" with "Argentine")
- So now the Fields "To:", "Cc:"... do not have any comma and so the
550
error cannot happen with the French locale.

Hello Riccardo,
When you fill an address from one of the AddressBook of GNUMail
linked to
the AddressManager, it inserts commas and this generates a 550 Mail
Delivery System error (bad Header syntax) even this is quoted:
An example below: see the comma in field "To":
Date: 2025-06-06 11:47:59 +0200
From: Patrick Cardona <[email protected]>
To: GNUstep, Liste <[email protected]>
So we must clean each address inserted to prevent this to happen.
Maybe a filter could be used instead ?
I just tried here with a couple of names, I also tried adding to my
address
book new entries and useing them. It works.
In my case I get a quoted result. E.g.
"GNUstep, Liste" <[email protected]>
In your case, quoting appears to be missing. I wonder why.
If you open the address, doe sit look fine in AddressManager?
If you manually add an address to the AddressManager and type in the
person
Name and Surname, does it work?
I hope it is not a "locale" issue. Or, somewhere, you are missing a
fix.
Really don't know except I just tried here on GNUstep and Linux and
it works
