I've had complaints from users about "MISSING_DOMAIN" in header fields and I've tracked it down to having "." in an unquoted display name.
By my reading of RFC2822 (especially section 4.1)
A N Other a.n.other@somewhere.org "A. N. Other" a.n.other@somewhere.org
are legal, but
A. N. Other a.n.other@somewhere.org
is "obsolete", but should be supported by the server (no clients should do it).
I think the relevant syntax is
phrase = 1*word / obs-phrase
word = atom / quoted-string
obs-phrase = word *(word / "." / CFWS)and rfc822_parse_phrase() should be modified to cope with "obs-phrase".
I'll have a go, but if Timo or anybody knows how to do it properly, that would be better!
