Re: RFC To: comment syntax?

John Conover asked,

| I'm running down a problem I think is an MUA problem, (Netscape.) Is
| it true that To: header syntax like:
| 
|     John Conover <conover(_at_)inow(_dot_)com>
| 
| is deprecated, and:
| 
|     conover(_at_)inow(_dot_)com (John Conover)
| 
| is correct?

If anything, common usage seems to be going in the opposite direction,
favoring 

     Real Name <user(_at_)site(_dot_)domain>
over
     user(_at_)site(_dot_)domain (Real Name)
