I don't believe this has anything to do with OpenOffice. Spaces are not
allowed in e-mail addresses. If a space appears in the entry in your address
book that is *only* because you have chosen, either deliberately or by
allowing your mail program to do its own thing, for the person's name to be
displayed that way. The actual address can't contain spaces.
I am not sure you are correct there. rfc2822 seems to allow arbitrary
quoted strings for the local part of a mailbox address, and sendmail
seems to accept space when quoted(*) (although I've not been able
offhand to make a space-containing address that actually exists, so the
legitimacy is moot).
OTOH, spaces are just asking for trouble......

mail -s test < /dev/null '"test address"@data'
does actually queue the mail, and I get
<"test address"@data.scotts>... User unknown
logged rather than syntax errors. Heading miles OT here though..
sorry. If anyone /really/ wants to know, I/someone could ask on the
sendmail group, I suppose.
