Thank you. I suspected that the regex looked for letters, numbers and periods, then an @, then more letters, numbers and periods, but couldn't find anything explicitly stating such.
These From_ lines are parsed using a hand-written parser. It doesn't try to parse the mail address as a mail address at that stage, so it doesn't look for letters and numbers or the @ symbol. My quick look at the source reveals the format mutt expects:
/* * A valid message separator looks like: * * From [ <return-path> ] <weekday> <month> <day> <time> [ <timezone> ] <year> */Looking at the source, it seems to support quoting the return path part using double quotes. This is untested, but quoting the whole part as in:
From "foo bar@host" ... could help. I can't help you on making your MDA produce that, though... Rocco
