>> Why are angle brackets mandatory here?

SP> See RFC2821, RFC2822

RFC2822:

   There is also an alternate simple form of a mailbox where the
   addr-spec address appears alone, without the recipient's name or
   the angle brackets.

   To: Mary Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, [EMAIL PROTECTED], Who? <[EMAIL 
PROTECTED]>
   Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, "Giant; \"Big\" Box" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

   and [EMAIL PROTECTED] uses the simpler address form without the
   angle brackets.

Therefore, I hereby pronounce Mailutils guilty of making users' mail
look _unprofessional_ by taking the simplistic no-brainer approach of
always adding angle brackets, whether the user put them there or not!

Compare mutt or gnus.
