Subject: Question on address parsing

When a from line contains a personal name that contains commas
PINE seems to have problems extracting the correct reply address.

Example of a from line that causes problems:

From:"Laura, Veglac, .... lots, of, junk" <[email-masked]>

Is there an easy fix for this?

Thanks.

Jim

This is a known problem with the display routines in the composer.  Pine
will still interpret it correctly though.  We will fix it as soon as one
of us gets up the nerve to dig into the bowels of Pico ;)

Thanks for the report!
