I think this is mutt's overly strict (pedantic?) interpretation of RFC 2822 (or whatever is the current version), section 3.4 (Address Specification). That section says that an address is in one _and only one_ of two forms: 1. Foo Bar <[email protected]> 2. [email protected] (Foo Bar) Basically, parentheses are not free form, they are supposed to hold the real name in case the address proper is not enclosed in angle brackets. -- Please *no* private copies of mailing list or newsgroup messages. Rule 420: All persons more than eight miles high to leave the court.
