mail-extract-address-components extracts only part from "From:" |

In GNU Emacs 21.3.50.8 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars)
of 2002-12-20 on linux
configured using `configure '--with-x''
Important settings:
value of $LC_ALL: nil
value of $LC_COLLATE: POSIX
value of $LC_CTYPE: nil
value of $LC_MESSAGES: nil
value of $LC_MONETARY: nil
value of $LC_NUMERIC: nil
value of $LC_TIME: nil
value of $LANG: address@hidden
locale-coding-system: iso-latin-9
default-enable-multibyte-characters: nil
I am using the latest Oort Gnus and have set
`gnus-extract-address-components' to CVS GNU Emacs function
`mail-extract-address-components'.
The following "From:"-String: "1&1 Internet AG" <address@hidden>
is parsed as follows:
* mail-extr.el from GNU Emacs 21 CVS:
(mail-extract-address-components "\"1&1 Internet AG\" <address@hidden>")
=> ("1" "address@hidden")
* "gnus-util.el" from Oort:
(gnus-extract-address-components "\"1&1 Internet AG\" <address@hidden>")
=> ("1&1 Internet AG" "address@hidden")
AFAIK the quoted string can contain any chars except "\"", so that
mail-extract-address-components doesn't parse the string correctly and
delivers in the car a "1" instead a "1&1 Internet AG".
According to RFC2822 the "1&1..." part above is a "phrase".
,----
| phrase = 1*word / obs-phrase
| word = atom / quoted-string
| quoted-string = [CFWS]
| DQUOTE *([FWS] qcontent) [FWS] DQUOTE
| [CFWS]
| FWS = ([*WSP CRLF] 1*WSP) / ; Folding white space
| obs-FWS
| qcontent = qtext / quoted-pair
| qtext = NO-WS-CTL / ; Non white space controls
|
| %d33 / ; The rest of the US-ASCII
| %d35-91 / ; characters not including "\"
| %d93-126 ; or the quote character
`----
According to that d38 ("&") has no special meaning.
