However, be sure to _quote_ names with spaces, as in

	"andy user"@genie.geis.com

or you may be in for a surprise. 

NB: If your mailer doesn't parse those addresses correctly, you may be in
for a surprise anyway. What's more, since there may still be difficulties
with names like these because of UUCP-rmail links, support for an alternate
scheme such as RFC 1137 might make sense.
