RFC-0822 (http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc822.html) allows the local-part to contain single quotes.
William, The current rfc is 2822. After reading it, does your assertion that Mailman is broken still stand?
RFC 2822 http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2822.html
It also specifically allows, as a specified syntax, quoted strings as the local part.
The characters that are not allowed outside of quoted strings are:
specials = "(" / ")" / "<" / ">" / "@" ; Must be in quoted- / "," / ";" / ":" / "\" / <"> ; string, to use / "." / "[" / "]" ; within a word.
SPACE, and CTL characters.
Note that the period is used as a word separator, it IS allowed but is considered a separator, not part of the word.
It is Mailman that is broken.
