I only run into this with one person running an MSN.com account.
I'm certain that I won't be able to get him to change his human
readable "real name" part. I'm even more certain that I won't
be able to get MSN.com to adhere to the standard.
I think my options are:
- Fix the issue by hand, which is what I'm doing now. There is
not much traffic of this kind where I'm at, so this isn't too
much trouble.
- Alter the replyfilter perl script to legalize real names. I
haven't looked. But, I have perl skills and might do this.
It's not a high priority. But, if I do, then I'll submit a
patch.
- Adopt any forthcoming nmh patch. I have skills to build code
and would use a patch, should one emerge.
At least I have it confirmed that the real names containing dots
(perhaps other characters too?) are not adhering to the standard(s).
Thanks....
