	What would you do if you saw the following on a To: line?

Roy Smith <philabs.philips.com.weiser.pa@xerox.com  (Roy Smith)>

	I'm not sure what it's supposed to mean, but it certainly doesn't
mean me.  Actually, the odd part is that somehow it does mean me because it
got to me (although as part of a several-bounce error message).  Where
would you start if you wanted to try to parse this, or would you just say
it's illegal and throw up your hands?
