Hi Scott,
sorry, that was misleading on my end.
If you use CDONTS or other mailers, your application provides the
complete "from"/"to" etc. information as a string. All the samples I
used always omitted the space - so that's how all our applications and
form mailers are coded.
Considering YOUR information, I am now better informed and would insert
a space just so that Declude will not have problems. I have yet to see
any pop-client who had problems with automated mail we generated.
Best Regards
Andy Schmidt

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?
-Scott
