Version:           1.9.9 (using 3.5.9, Debian Package 4:3.5.9.dfsg.1-1 (lenny/sid))

Hello,

I have many friends who have email address in following format "name [xxx] <foo company com>", when I reply their email, I got following warning: "The email address you have entered is not valid because it contains an invalid displayname."

the incoming message is in valid for RFC822 because they use following quote format[1].

[1] From: =?gb2312?B?XXXXXXX?= <XXX XXX com>

sometimes I need reply to all(more than 100 mail address), so It's not easy to modify all the address by hand.

so please quote the reciever's address if it has invalid char in displayname instead of just give a warning. (use UTF-8 base64 encoding is OK)

Thanks,
