5.2.15 RFC-822 Syntax Change: RFC-822 Section 6.1
The syntactic definition of "mailbox" in RFC-822 is hereby
changed to:
mailbox = addr-spec ; simple address
/ [phrase] route-addr ; name & addr-spec
That is, the phrase preceding a route address is now OPTIONAL.
This change makes the following header field legal, for
example:
From: <craig@nnsc.nsf.net>
