I thought it was legal, but on reviewing RFC 822, I find that it is, in
fact, invalid: if the phrase outside <>'s contains any of spaces, ctrls
or:
specials = "(" / ")" / "<" / ">" / "@" ; Must be in quoted-
/ "," / ";" / ":" / "\" / <"> ; string, to use
/ "." / "[" / "]" ; within a word.
...it must be quoted: To: "user@domain.com" <user@domain.com>
