Do not escape email addresses on export
When exporting a message, the @ character in email addresses get replaced by (a)
This behaviour was introduced by this commit: 9c2a12df
But it's not clear why.
It poses the following problems:
-
When importing on other tools (for ex: Thunderbird + ImportExportTools NG), the message will have
(a)instead of@ -
Same problem if you export and reimport a message. I would expect the new message to be the same.

Maybe this was intended as a protection against spam bots that crawl websites ? In that case, I think it's not strong enough to be worth it, as a simple regex and substitution would be sufficient to get the addresses. Also, the contents are not escaped on the web UI.
Would you agree if I withdraw the escaping of email addresses on export ?
