Yes, he has an AKA now so every time his name comes up I don't get nagging
messages.

He's apparently on a VAX/VMS system. In addition, it's gated to the
HOMESAT-L list via a listserver. Who knows why it (they) does this to the
poor guy's 'From' line?
I don't know of a way for BBDB to deal with this other than using AKA. I
thought that perhaps others had encountered similar headers (this does
come from DEC, after all) and already dealt with it.
Thanks for all your responses.
