Subject: 23.0.60; define-mail-abbrev adds quotes when it shouldn't
Date: Sat, 22 Nov 2008 14:09:24 -0500

If you put quotes into an email address, define-mail-abbrev adds a second
set of quotes.  The extra quotes make the email address invalid.  For
example:
(define-mail-abbrev "jojo" "\"Mark A. Plaksin\" <happy <at> mcplaksin.org>")
"jojo"
(abbrev-expansion "jojo" mail-abbrevs)
"\"\"Mark A. Plaksin\"\" <happy <at> mcplaksin.org>"

It does the right think if you supply an address that needs quotes added
like this:
(define-mail-abbrev "jojo" "Mark A. Plaksin <happy <at> mcplaksin.org>")
"jojo"
(abbrev-expansion "jojo" mail-abbrevs)
"\"Mark A. Plaksin\" <happy <at> mcplaksin.org>"
