I'm not familiear with Gnus, but I am with RFC822, and this
style of address is garbage.

This ^^^^^^^^^^ is an RFC822 header **comment**, and
should not be interpreted to mean **anything**. That some
programs still generate it is lame. That some programs understand
the convention is understandable in the interest of compatibility
with wide-spread but broken implementations. The way mutt does
it is the right way, and should be understandable to any program.
Also, the usenet news message format spec (can't recall the
RFC) states that the usenet news format *must* be compliant with
RFC822.
So, what problem are you trying to solve by doing this? Any
gnu s/w should work with standards-compliant addresses, whats
breaking?
