Subject: Why doesn't pine understand @some.host:some@address ?

The above mentioned address is I think correct by the RFCs, but pine
doesn't somehow understand them (Error in To: filed, addresses beginning
with a @ don't get to reply etc). Don't you think it should?

1) That syntax (called "source routing") was deprecated in the
   Internet protocol suite several years ago, in favor of just
   some@address, or in a pinch [email-masked] (the
   so-called "%-hack").
2) If you really want to use source routing, put angle brackets
   around it, e.g. <@some.host:some@address>

> with a @ don't get to reply etc). Don't you think it should?

If I type an address like that into the To line in the composer, it works
for me.  Where is it in pine that it doesn't work?  Thanks.
