This, and the other option you propose, end up being a little hard to
deal with in practice because it's all tied up in the address parser
routines.

I can understand that concern, but I don't think we're in danger of that
quite yet. However ... I don't think it's reasonable in this day and
age to expect users to look at RFC-5322 as a reference to understand
how to compose email; those documents can be pretty tough for someone
who isn't actually implementing a protocol. I think right now we have
a reasonable balance; the documentation tells users a reasonable level
of detail about the headers in email and their meaning, but we don't get
into the exact syntax of each header. I think since this is where nmh
has special handling, it's reasonable to document it.
