Hi *,

if you have a mail with

From: "foo \[bar\]" <foo@bar.invalid>

in the headers, gnus displays the from literately as

foo \[bar\]

but according to RfC822/2822 "\" is used in quoted strings as special
quoting character and is always (no matter if necessary or not)
semantically "invisible".  So it should read:

foo [bar]


The other way around, when writing display names in quoted strings, no
quoting is done even when it would be needed.  Writing a message with

From: "foo/bar" <foo@bar.invalid>

the From: header is copied verbatim to the outgoing mail, but should
get quoted like:

From: "foo//bar" <foo@bar.invalid>

cheers
sascha
