My reading of RFC822 is that both those forms are acceptable. Note that many of the examples in Appendix A of RFC822 use the format From: George Jones <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Similarly, in appendix A of RFC2822 (the successor to RFC822), the examples also use the same syntax. There are some notes in 2822 that indicate under what circumstances quoting is required; for example in: From: "George A. Jones" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> the quotes are required due to the presence of the "." in the name.
