How odd. But when does Gnus use functions that have this... interesting (yuck) feature? And... why does this happen? The documentation to that variable doesn't say anything specific about when it's used: mail-use-rfc822's value is nil Documentation: *If non-nil, use a full, hairy RFC822 parser on mail addresses. Otherwise, (the default) use a smaller, somewhat faster, and often correct parser. -- Home is where the cat is.
