Maybe display names of the form xxx.yyy need quotes? Hi Aaron, Hmmmm, if that's the case, then perhaps I need to process my headers to "fix" Exchange email addresses with display names containing '.' I'm fairly certain that Exchange "display names" for internal email lists is the source, since instrumenting my notmuch, I see other instances of the same craziness with incompletely indexed "To:" lists. Arg, I'm reading RFC #822, and it seems pretty clear that originally this would not be allowed. '.' is a special character and wouldn't have been allowed unquoted in the display name. I could hope that some leeway has been added in more recent RFC's, but with MSoft's traditional implement first, specs later methodology, it seems unlikely. What a bother. It is rather painful that I can have a lot of recipients dropped silently by gmime. Thanks, -Mark > > Best, > Aaron >
