Without the quotes we get <"abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvNÃ<er"@aknqmail.aeknoe.or.at>"> In both cases there's this extra double quote just before the "@", leading to "unknown address" or "unknown account" error replies. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. compose email to an address similar to the one above 2. check the error reply (or your MTA's log file) Actual Results: Send attempt to invalid address (double quote inserted before "@") Expected Results: Correctly separate actual address from info text This only seems to happen when the "To:" line is wrapped. Workaround for the user is making the address shorter (e.g. deleting the "info" part)
