Quoting Peter Meier <peter.me...@immerda.ch>:
Hi
if I receive emails with the following from field:
From: foo:bar <f...@bar.com>
This is invalid. foo:bar is the "display-name" (RFC 2822 [3.4]) which
is defined as a phrase. A phrase is 1*word (RFC 2822 [3.2.6]). A
word is either an atom or a quoted-string (RFC 2822 [3.2.6]). An atom
does not include ":" (see RFC 2822 [3.2.4]). Therefore, the word must
be quoted.
the sender gets shown as Invalid Address.
I wondered if this is a bug in imp or the sending mailer
(thunderbird). If the sender places brackets around the name I receive
the following, which get's displayed correctly:
From: "foo:bar" <f...@bar.com>
I was unsure whether to file a bug report against imp or thunderbird.
IMP is correct - it is an invalid address.
