I forgot to add, I'm using Evolution 2.2.3.

[Comment 2 Leonardo Boshell (RETIRED) 2005-07-17 22:08:00 UTC]

The author list had some invalid characters that were breaking this. A patch
from upstream's repository should fix this in evolution-2.2.3-r1. Thanks for
reporting this.

Excellent. Thanks very much. :)
