BugId's fixed with this patch: 1059748 Relevant Architectures: i386 Patches accumulated and obsoleted by this patch: Patches which conflict with this patch: Patches required with this patch: Obsoleted by: Files included with this patch: NFSMAIL.EXE Problem Description: Lifeline Mail 2.0 is not handling the FROM: and/or Reply-TO: headers correctly. In the following cases: John Public "John Q. Public" In the first, LL2.0 treats the words (tokens) making up the full name of the sender outside of the <> (which delimits the real sender address) as addresses. It apparently is also doing it in the second case, and looking inside the "" quoted string, which is should not be done.
