Even back in RFC821 this was the case: MAIL FROM: ::= ::= "<" [ ":" ] ">" Simon -- Simon Lockhart | Tel: +44 (0)1628 407720 (x(01)37720) | Si fractum Technology Manager | Fax: +44 (0)1628 407701 (x(01)37701) | non sit, noli BBC Internet Ops | Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]| id reficere BBC Technology, Maiden House, Vanwall Road, Maidenhead.
