Bug#295114: libgnumail-java: Inconsistent results for InternetAddress(java.lang.String) and parse(java.lang.String, boolean)

[Mykola A. Nickishov]

Package: libgnumail-java
Version: 1.0-3.1
Severity: normal

String illegalEmail = "\"M A. N \" <m@m>";
InternetAddress[] withParseStrict = InternetAddress.parse(illegalEmail,
true);
InternetAddress[] withParseNotStrict = InternetAddress.parse(
illegalEmail, false);
InternetAddress withConstructor = new InternetAddress(illegalEmail);

This code dies at last line with:
javax.mail.internet.AddressException: Illegal whitespace in string "M A. N " <m@m>
at javax.mail.internet.InternetAddress.validate(InternetAddress.java:950)
at javax.mail.internet.InternetAddress.<init>(InternetAddress.java:106)
at javax.mail.internet.InternetAddress.<init>(InternetAddress.java:84)
