Sometimes I hate living in a different time zone! I spent some time on this 
yesterday as well, although from a slightly different angle and basically 
came to the same conclusion i.e. that the angle brackets are missing. On 
consulting the SMTP spec it appears that they are a required part of an 
address as shown below (from http://www.freesoft.org/CIE/RFC/821/15.htm ):

The following are the SMTP commands:
             MAIL <SP> FROM:<reverse-path> <CRLF>

             RCPT <SP> TO:<forward-path> <CRLF>

The syntax of the above argument fields (using BNF notation where 
applicable) is given below. The "..." notation indicates that a field may 
be repeated one or more times.
             <reverse-path> ::= <path>

             <forward-path> ::= <path>

             <path> ::= "<" [ <a-d-l> ":" ] <mailbox> ">"

             <a-d-l> ::= <at-domain> | <at-domain> "," <a-d-l>


As you can see from the above, <path> requires the angle brackets. So the 
question then is should the Mailer Swiftlet be adding them if they are not 
present ?
