I have to deal with non-RFC822-conforming mailers which generate address
lists separated by whitespace rather than commas.  AMS always treats
these address lists as one big name and converts the spaces to dots.

I noticed that there was some code in overhead/mail/lib/parseadd.c to
explicitly deal with this case, but only if there is a parse error
first.  Why doesn't a list of whitespace-separated words cause a parse
error?

I'm running the R4 software with patchlevel 8.
