Subject: double quotes in To header if there is a "."

I've noticed that the pine composer adds double quotes around the "full name"
text (or the portion of the header text that is not the e-mail address) if one
of the characters is a ".". Could an unquoted "." misdirect message delivery?
Are there other characters that would trigger the use of double quotes?

	Please read RFC822.

	This will tell you all (well mostly all) you need to know about
what is legal in email addresses.
