Jeff, would you agree? yea, gmime should definetely not be splitting tokens (although an adr- spec *can* be split, gmime should not have split in the middle of that long aaa... 'word' token. I assume that's what's going on, right? or is the problem mail created with another mailer and gmime is having problems parsing it? or both?
