mail with header
313 bytes, text/plain
Details 
the following header:
To: =?iso-8859-1?Q?Medier_=26_Portal=2C_=D8st?=
	 <MediePortal.ost@xxx.xxx>

results in the folloing To line in Mozilla:
Medier, &, Portal, Øst <MediePortal.ost@xxx.xxx>
that's 4 recipients!

In outlook it's correctly detected as only one.

The same problem has From: field.
Commas must be MIMEd.

Can still confirm on Mozilla 1.5 final.

The problem appears only when the commas are encoded. The cases with unencoded
commas are separate bugs and seem to be fixed long ago.

    
    

    
  
Note that with current builds, the address is split only into two portions:
  Medier & Portal
  Øst <MediePortal.ost@xxx.xxx>

This is not because the comma was not MIMEd, but because it was not quoted.
Outlook's behavior is NOT correct -- an unquoted comma is an address delimiter, 
per RFC822.  The correct header would be:

To: =?iso-8859-1?Q?=22Medier_=26_Portal=2C_=D8st=22?=
 <MediePortal.ost@xxx.xxx>

Since the ampersand apparently used to be handled in error, this bug was not 
completely invalid, but it now works per spec.  =>WFM

Well, I was mistaken.  The arguments for parsing per the desired behavior are 
well set out in the duplicate.

My apologies.
