Evolution and Exchange LDAP

After the Gnome 3.20 update, my global contact list from my workplace's exchange server is screwy.  Now, addresses are returned with extra tags.  For example, one contact I use daily to communicate with an employee now returns this:

Ch.....lo <smtp:Ch...llo@exchange.uthscsa.edu>,

Another returns this:

Thompson <X400:C=US;A= ;P=U....A;O=UT.....A;S=Thompson;G=C..y S........r;>,

Neither of these are valid emails to the Evolution compose message window - sending fails.

At least in the first case, I can delete the 'smtp:" part and get the email to send.  The second doesn't provide me with enough information to know what the correct email address should be.

This contact list worked flawlessly before the 3.20 update.  Email addresses were populated automatically and correctly.

Has anyone else had this problem?  I have found no relevant bug reports for this problem to date.

I noticed exactly the same thing. Im connected to Exchange via Exchange Web Services and mail addresses from the address book alwys have a "smtp:" prepended.
