That's hilarious. Come on aliexpress...
i think a reasoanble heuristic would be to just accept anything as long as it's a single string with no whitespace.
Well, it's not hard to pull the '@' check out. I was just worried we might miss the real message-id if someone started generating garbage outside of a comment:
Mesage-ID: lkjsdflk <1...@example.com>If you all think that's unlikely, I'll just accept the first non-comment token, and for references/in-reply-to accept all the non-comment tokens.
By the way, Mutt is now internally adding <> to those without. Replying will generate in-reply-to/references with angle brackets, as will <link-threads>.
I'm not keen on displaying warning messages to users that they can do nothing about, but I think adding the brackets is an appropriate response, especially if it breaks the original sender's threading. :-)
