I am by no means an expert, but http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2821.txt
would seem to indicate that names with a '.' in them don't need to be
quoted as there are several lines in the Scenarios section that look
like:

C: From: John Q. Public <JQP@bar.com>

unless the problem is XXX.yyy (i.e. no spaces on either side of the
'.'), but that seems like a pretty arbitrary differentiator (i.e. 'Q. '
is fine, but 'LWN.net' isn't)

aren't the '<' and '>' the real delimiters here?

If we do need to fix something, though, we'd be more than happy to do
so I suspect ...
