They better DTRT or they don't belong on the Internet in the first place. If you read the various standard documents, starting with RFC 821/822, you will find that <> are defined as delimiters of a machine-parseable address and that the mailer is to use their content; ignoring all other parts of the line in question. IMHO, this change was long overdue. Check the history of PR docs/19604 for an example of the problems this change avoids. /s/Udo --=20 Kill them all.
