Subject: addressbook bug

if I enter someone's name as

	Dr. John Q. Smith, Jr

and then go to send him email, it comes out:

	Jr Dr. John Q. Smith

This is clearly not non-unintuitive

Actually that one will come out as

"Jr Dr. John Q. Smith"

Its best to omit stops (to avoid the quotation marks).
The comma thing is a design feature, so that address book entries can
contain

Smith, John Q

which Pine interprets as John Q Smith.

So avoid both stop and comma when constructing names (unless you want
the specific effect). Thus

	Dr John Q Smith Jr
