	Hmm.... Actually, I'm pretty sure that not having the <>'s on the
address is perfectly fine according to the RFC's, as long as you don't
have any comments in the address. Are you sure this isn't a glitch w/
Vmailer? 

	PS, is there any specific reason that MailMan keeps using it's own
smtplib, rather than the one that is part of the Python 1.5.1 standard
library?
