I noticed this header on an inbound message:
-------
Illegal-Object: Syntax error in From: address found on relay.cs.toronto.edu:
	From:	Bruce D.Becker <bdb@becker.UUCP>
		^      ^-illegal period in phrase
		 \-phrases containing '.' must be quoted
-------
Is this really an error?  Does anyone else add headers like this?
