There are recentish (I mean, only a few years old) RFCs that now specify
that From addresses on the form
From: address@hidden (Lars Ingebrigtsen)
SHOULD not be generated, because they create problems for some
recipients (*cough* Microsoft Mail *cough*):
Only this form is allowed now:
From: Lars Ingebrigtsen <address@hidden>

So:
The RFC says SHOULD, so Message shouldn't have an easy way to generate
>From headers that deviate from the `angles' style.
So I propose to remove the code that reacts to `message-from-style'
(i.e., always generate `angles' From headers), and mark
`message-from-style' as obsolete and note in the doc string that it's no
longer used.
Any objections?
