I happened by Tim Pierce's archive of GNKSoA evaluations, noticing
that 5.3 failed GNKSoA by only one nit in the spec:

    Gnus fails the Good Netkeeping Seal of Approval on one rather minor
    count:
      * You can post an article with a "From" header containing a
        syntactically invalid e-mail address.  Although Gnus does check the
        syntax of the "From" header, its checks are not robust enough.  See
        note (1) for details.

I just looked into the current state of q0.12's From-checking in
message.el, around line 2301, and it seems relatively robust, though I
no longer have older Gnus versions around, against which to compare.

Is there any longer a reason why Gnus shouldn't finally and fully be
declared "GNKSoA compliant"?
