- I have been having a problem with the MH address parser.
- Specifically, on some addresses, it gives a bad address when trying to
- reply:
-
- repl: bad addresses:
- N. R. "Norm" Lunde <norm> -- no at-sign after local-part (Lunde)
- testformail
-
- As far as I can tell, this is a valid address per 822 (but it seems a
- little vague for this case) and certainly most mailers can deal with
- it. This is not the only address (or even style of address--with
- quoted nickname) which gives this problem.
-
- I looked around the address checking and it seemed kinda (scratch
- that, very) hairy so I was wondering if someone could come up with
- either a quick patch or a reference to where in 822 this address is
- declared illegal.
-
- This applies to 6.7.2 and 6.8
