this seems to be a pretty big problem... and i just realized it affects all 
address fields.  I fixed the problem with the FROM field by hacking the code 
and not going through the rfc822 method.  I don't know why this is 
occuring... maybe it has something to do with the new methods being used in 
compose.php from imp 2.3.7-cvs.... BUT, here's what seems to be happening.  
Lets say that we have the following in either the FROM or the TO field:

John Doe <john_doe@site.net>

This won't be accepted.  It will return saying that the message could not be 
delivered.  The solution to this problem is to have the FROM or TO field 
look like this:

"John Doe" <john_doe@site.net>

Unless those quotes are surrounding the name, it will not send the message.  
For now, I rewrote get_from() to get rid of the rfc stuff and just hack 
together an address that works by surrounding $name with quotes and tacking 
that on to the email address. Am I going to have to do this for the TO field 
also or is there a quick fix that I'm not aware of?

You might want to open this as a bug?
