There appears to be a minor bug in bbdb-rfc822-addresses in the handling of bad addresses according to RFC 822. I encountered a wrong-type-argument error while using Gnus with BBDB support.[1] The error occurred in rfc822-bad-address. I submitted a patch for this function which eliminated that error;[2] however, my patch results in a wrong-type-argument error in bbdb-rfc822-addresses (from bbdb-snarf.el, current CVS version). Nevertheless, the patch was committed to the Emacs CVS trunk, since it was deemed correct and it was suggested that bbdb-rfc822-addresses should handle the resulting error.[3] I'm not sure what the proper handling is, but I assume a BBDB hacker will be able to DTRT. See the posts cited in the footnotes for details. Thanks,
