For the record, we aren't speaking about 'Friendly Names', but the
userpart of the addr-spec address
But a pointer to an RFC where it is permitted, that I don't find..
(And yes, Thanks Al it has been used in the wild as you pointed out for
some time now, wanted to know if it was 'permitted' by RFC anywhere now,
as seeing more recent list usage with it.. )
It's more a 'gotcha' that post delivery processing systems may not
expect...

I'm definitely disappointed by the giant chunks of excess HTML links and
previews added to your reply, for sure.
But the page you linked to clearly says that the asterisk is allowed in
the username portion, so nothing to be disappointed about there. Not
sure if perhaps you misread it just now.
Cheers,
