Question Use full names from KAddressBook

Hi forum,

I have a lot of contacts with given, additional, and family names in KAddressBook. The problem I am having is that KMail and other applications interfacing with the addressbook only uses my contact's given and family names.

How can I make KAddressBook (and apps. interfacing with it) use full names in the given-additional-family format?

This thread originally appeared on KDE forums.

Automatic name parsing is selected by default when kaddressbook is installed. Try de-selecting automatic name parsing in kaddressbook.

Still no additional names
I tried that. I also changed ‘default name format’ to full name. KMail still uses given-family formatting. Leaving out additional names.
