How so?  When you refer to "parsing" I envision that you may be pasting the address into the
message itself and expecting an external program to be able to locate/identify the address.

On the flip side, copying to the address to the clipboard and then pasting it into the To: field
works just fine under PMMail98, even without the quotes.  Once you hit enter (or click the
<enter> arrow), the quotes are automatically added before the address is put into the list.
