Recipient Names which are only 1 Character long are dropped

[RealRaven2000]

When retrieving names from address fields, such as %to(firstname)% , e.g. from an email address such as j.smith@email.com the firstname "J" is dropped. This can lead to the whole variable being removed when forwarding an email using

%to(firstname,fwd)%
