The "phrase" can be null: > <@brl,@seismo:jsdy@hadron.COM> Apologies: the "null" phrase must be in quotes: "", since a phrase must be either a quoted string or one or more words (of one or more chars each). The rest of the article is correct. I was misled by the fact that many sites actually use no phrase (a null phrase w/o quotes), and re-reading RFC822 straightened that out. I hope you didn't waste net time flaming the last letter for this. -- Joe Yao hadron!jsdy@seismo.{CSS.GOV,ARPA,UUCP} jsdy@hadron.COM (not yet domainised)
