Hello Thomas Fernandez,

IMHO, TB! already doing right, by putting double quote ( "") between his
Real Name Part. That way makes MTA not misintepretation.
Couple month ago, my MTA also having this problem, but our MTA Developer
already fixed this.
AFAIK, most Exchange and AOL user using this (allow comma within Real
Name Part), but as far as all within quote mark, no problem. Same happen
for "[ ]" mark as Jamie's Real Name part, cause problem for some MTA.
TF> Therefore, I would like TB to check whether an incompelte address is a
TF> nickname, and if not: either dispaly an error message "not a valid
TF> email address" or allow default domains (but I tend to opt for the
TF> error messsage).
TF> What do you think?
In regard to incomplete address (without @domain part), I tend to agree
that we can set "default domain" per account setting basis (some mailer
can do this).
