Email recipient address not trimmed

Description
Version 0.3 Stable
Problem:
When vCards are imported by the addressbook, the email address is not trimmed. The decoder expects the email address to immediately follow the ':' (colon) without any space(s). If there is a space then the email is inserted into the database table along with the space. It is not trimmed.
Programs such as csv2vcard.rb however insert a space in between. Example
BEGIN:VCARD
FN: Space Committee
N: Space Committee
EMAIL;INTERNET: Space@…
END:VCARD
When an email is composed to this address it is inserted as
"Space Committee" < Space@…>
which is an invalid address, and the client asks to "specify at least one recipient".
Solution:
Rewrite the vcard_decode() in rcube_vcard.php
A more general fix would be to trim all email addresses before they are sent to the client in main.inc (there by avoiding bugs of several programs that may write to the database table).
<?php
function format_email_recipient($email, $name=)
{
$email = trim($email); trim all addresses here
if ($name && $name != $email)
?>
