Invalid address in "Reply-to:" field

Invalid address in "Reply-to:" field

[Christoph Conrad]

Hi,

if i have a adress of the form "Christoph Conrad <cc@cli.de>" in the
reply-to field and queue the mail, then try to send it when online, an
error message:

Invalid address in Reply-To: Header (Christoph Conrad <christoph.conrad@gmx.de>, cc@cli.de) 

The message is open now, i am in a message buffer. Correcting the
address and trying to C-c C-c reveals:

No such function: nnml-request-post

Saving the buffer, leaving the queue group, entering again and trying
to send: 

No such function: nnml-request-post

Best regards,
cu, -cc-

Strange.  Where does the GMX address come from?  Maybe your Reply-To
header now contains two addresses, separated by comma?

This is a different thing.  But still strange.  It thinks that you
want to post to an nnml newsgroup.  Is there a Newsgroups header in
the message?  What is gnus-post-method?

Oh sorry, i forgot: i added the second address. Shame on me. Normally
this is no problem, except when the second address is of the form

"Christoph Conrad <cc@cli.de>"

I didn't test yet whether this effect occurs also when only one
address of this form is present in reply-to. Will be tested!

I don't remember. When the effect occurs the next time, i will report.

I'm still not sure what you have.  The following Reply-To header
should be okay:

Reply-To: Christoph Conrad <cc@cli.de>, John Smith <john@frob.org>

This one is bad:

Reply-To: "Christoph Conrad <cc@cli.de>", "John Smith <john@frob.org>"

Hm.  Yes, giving exact information on what's in the headers is
difficult...
