I think it's "Joe" followed by a syntax error, how you resume
parsing after an error, e.g. arriving at "unfinished comment",
not at all, or ignoring an invalid quoted-pair, isn't specified.

The real backslash is a real syntax error at this place.

Quoted pairs can also appear within quoted strings, or in
domain-literal, maybe more, not only in comments. And
quoted strings aren't allowed everywhere, e.g. not as a
domain-literal, domain-literals use square brackets.

Or From: "Joe \(Joseph\) Bloggs" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
or From: Joe (Joseph) Bloggs <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Using the new 2821bis style of a TLD address,
we're on the SMTP list... :-)
