[Mutt] #3480: IPv6 literal email-address fails



#3480: IPv6 literal email-address fails
---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  Harry          |       Owner:  mutt-dev
     Type:  defect         |      Status:  new     
 Priority:  minor          |   Milestone:          
Component:  mutt           |     Version:  HEAD    
 Keywords:  literal, IPv6  |  
---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
 Sending to a literal IPv6 address (test@[2001:470:ffff:aaaa::1], as an
 example) will fail.

 How to reproduce:
 1) Make a new email To: anything@[2001:470:ffff:aaaa::1]", as an example.
 2) It gets transformed into the editor as "To: anything@[2001: 470: ffff:
 aaaa: ;" - Even if the user corrects the malformed literal IP in their
 editor, mutt will say "No recipients are specified!" when trying to send.

 Remco Rijnders informed me that it should be
 "anything@[IPv6:2001:470:ffff:aaaa::1]", but even then it has the same
 error (it malforms when mutt puts it into any editor).

 It would be nice if someone could look into this bug if they have time.
 Thanks.
