Peter, could you describe this in detail on the list, what kind of address,
is this a compliance issue with RFC822, or a trim() problem, at what point
does James go off the rails, on receipt or during storage/processing.

(as an aside a mail outlining bug submissions also helps communicate the
problem in a more conversational way)
