Subject: bug in address handling

Hello,

one of our user told me today and I verified that pine is not able to 
reply to addresses like 
Lastname.firstname=[email-masked]

The To: field stays empty. You can add this address to your addressbook 
but if you want to use the nickname, the To: gets replaced by an empty 
string. I know that the %hack is no correct address, but it is still 
used and my user was sad that she couldn't respond to her sender.

Typing this kind of address directly into the To: field is possible and 
the mail gets delivered.

Kind Regards
Guenter

Guenter,

Pine should be able to handle that form of address without any problem. 
Could you send a message that exhibits this problem to
[email-masked] as an attachment? 

Thanks for the report!
