Isn't all this, because Brian Grossman suggested the following patch on
25/11/03, which after discussion, Matt, you agreed with the next day.
However, in 0.28 (released on 5/6/04) this patch had still not made it in?

I know this problem did not bite you, Matt, but I encountered it with 0.28
and Mail::Address 1.62 under perl v5.8.4 and perl v5.005_03:
rhea:/var/qmail/qpsmtpd # perl -MMail::Address -le 'print
$Mail::Address::VERSION; print Mail::Address->new("<>")->address'
1.62
rhea:/var/qmail/qpsmtpd # perl -MMail::Address -le 'printress
$Mail::Address::VERSION; print Mail::Address->new("<>")->format'
1.62
"<>"
I know in that 2nd instance you said your string did not include the
quotes, but it does for many others.
Cheers.
