Pegasus Mail Suggestions
?iso-8859 in address

The solution is very simple: in accordance with the RFCs the sending mailprogramm should place doublequotes around any dsiplayname where i.e. a character for adressing (comma, point, @, (, ), <, >, doublequote) is in (-> mask special characters). In addition every header must consist of 7bit-characters. Examples:

Olaf <email@domain>
Olaf Erkens <email@domain>

"Erkens, Olaf" <email@domain>

=?iso-8859-1?Q?Wei=DF?= <email@domain>

"=?iso-8859-1?Q?Dr._Ganz_Wei=DF?=" <email@domain>

So the answers:

1. not always
2. comma seperate mailadresses and must be masked as part of displayname
3. did'nt test that, because have no mailreader or even webmailer not putting doublequotes around any displayname; problem is IMHO, that missing doublequotes - if seen - todays are most times with due to non-ASCII encoded addressfields; the encoding doesn't AFAIK make quotation obsolete
4. If there is a comma, Pegasus will

 bye   Olaf

The issue has been raised before but apparently there is no solution yet.

When the sender is of the form

?iso-8859-1?Q?G=F6r[...]<email@address>

A reply generates "Recipient address rejected: User unknown". There is no solution yet, is there?

 

What I haven't figured out yet: when does Pegasus send a mail to email@address in addition to the illegal one:

  1. always,
  2. when there is a comma,
  3. when there is a code with more than one byte
  4. never?
