When the 'From: "user" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>' format is used, "user" is a 
quoted-string, and "<" is an atom.  Quoted strings and atoms must be 
separated by one and only one whitespace character.  It could be argued 
that "<" is not really an atom (even though it is), or that the 
"<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" no longer qualifies as an atom.  But the only 
unarguably correct way to do it is to have the space there.  [This 
information comes from RFC822]

Assuming that it *is* OK, can you give me an example of a mail client or 
other program that doesn't insert the space ther?
