Hi there, in <http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/apps-discuss/current/msg10646.html>, SM notices: > In Section 5.5.1: > > 'The "From" header field contains an Internet email address for a > human user who controls the requesting user agent. The address ought > to be machine-usable, as defined by "mailbox" in Section 3.4 of > [RFC5322]:' > > The above text is similar to text which was in RFC 2068 and RFC 2616. The "mailbox" may also contain a display name whereas the "addr-spec" (see Section 3.4.1) is an Internet mail address. I listed this issue as minor to flag it for the attention of the HTTPbis Working Group. So while updating the reference for "mailbox" in <http://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/httpbis/trac/changeset/133>, we actually changed the definition to include name-addr (<http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5322#section-3.4>) > mailbox = name-addr / addr-spec > > name-addr = [display-name] angle-addr I don't think we (ahem, I) intended that change, so I propose to change the definition in P2 from: > From = mailbox > > mailbox = <mailbox, defined in [RFC5322], Section 3.4> to > From = addr-spec > > addr-spec = <addr-spec, defined in [RFC5322], Section 3.4.1> Feedback appreciated, Julian
