Subject: bug#29309: 25.2; Gnus: please make message-from-style 'angles the only option
Date: Wed, 15 Nov 2017 19:37:18 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87y3n7mlr5.fsf@midna.localhost> (raw)
Package: emacs,gnus
Currently, the custom option message-from-style can be one of:
'parens, resulting in e.g. “stapelberg@debian.org (Michael Stapelberg)”
'angles, resulting in e.g. “Michael Stapelberg <stapelberg@debian.org>”
However, https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2822#section-3.4 (from 2001)
states:
> Note: Some legacy implementations used the simple form where the
> addr-spec appears without the angle brackets, but included the name
> of the recipient in parentheses as a comment following the addr-spec.
> Since the meaning of the information in a comment is unspecified,
> implementations SHOULD use the full name-addr form of the mailbox,
> instead of the legacy form, to specify the display name associated
> with a mailbox. Also, because some legacy implementations interpret
> the comment, comments generally SHOULD NOT be used in address fields
> to avoid confusing such implementations.
Let us please make Gnus a better citizen by following the RFC’s
recommendation and removing the legacy form.
Thanks,
