I agree that it's a bug, but I think the primary bug is in an MUA that
is generating a reply to mail

From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

and addresses it

To: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

However, I have no objection to Mailman "working around" this MUA bug
:-) by changing

VERP_CONFIRM_REGEXP =r'^(?P<addr>[^+]+?)\+(?P<cookie>[EMAIL PROTECTED])@.*$'

in Defaults.py.in

I ask though, does anyone have a better suggestion for a replacement
than

VERP_CONFIRM_REGEXP = \
 r'^(\s*"[^"]*")?(?P<addr>[^+]+?)\+(?P<cookie>[EMAIL PROTECTED])@.*$'

or is that OK?
