The Internet Message Format (RFC 5322) allows "group" syntax in some
email header fields, such as "To:" and "CC:", but not in "From:" or
"Sender:".  This document updates RFC 5322 to relax that restriction,
allowing group syntax in those latter fields, as well as in
"Resent-From:" and "Resent-Sender:", in certain situations.

This is now a Proposed Standard.

STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet standards track
protocol for the Internet community,and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements.  Please refer to the current edition of the Internet
Official Protocol Standards (STD 1) for the standardization state and
status of this protocol.  Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
