There's an update for RFC822 which says:
Also, because some legacy implementations interpret the comment,
comments SHOULD NOT generally be used in address fields to avoid
confusing such implementations.
I use a legacy app (premail) that interprets the comment and thus need
to be able to generate comments in addresses.

I don't know what the problem with Mutt's implementation is, only that
the INSTALL file says it's broken.
Anyone know what Bad Things happen when --enable-exact-address is used?
I guess I could try it. :)
