Subject: Followup to names with commas
Date: 09 Jan 1999 00:02:54 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <m3ogo9id0g.fsf@k0817.kampsax.dtu.dk> (raw)

I just received a mail with approximately the following To: header...

 To: "Melchiorsen, Anders" <and@campsax.dtu.dk>


The problem is that when I did a followup to the message (in Gnus
5.6.45), it included `"Melchiorsen' as a CC: recipient.

I can see that Gnus probably figures that "melchiorsen is a local
account and therefore adds it to the recipient list (due to me doing a 
followup instead of the reply I actually wanted to).

Is it illegal to include a comma in a To: field this way? (The quotes
are meant to escape it, I guess). It would not surprise me if it
indeed is illegal (it was sent from a MS product :-). However, if it
is legal, I think this is a bug in Gnus instead - and therefore I
wanted to report it.
