Re: mail: Cannot parse address `[email protected] <[email protected]>'

It is *not* a valid mail part to begin with.  According to RFC 2822
(page 14), a valid address is 

  name-addr       =       [display-name] angle-addr
  angle-addr      =       [CFWS] "<" addr-spec ">" [CFWS] / obs-angle-addr

display-name is defined as

  display-name    =       phrase

"phrase" is (page 12)

  phrase          =       1*word / obs-phrase
  word            =       atom / quoted-string

Now, atom is defined on page 11 as a sequence of alphanumeric characters
or some punctuation characters.  The @ sign is not among that list.

Either don't include display-part at all, or enclose it in double
quotes:

(1) mail [email protected]

(2) mail "\"[email protected]\" <[email protected]>"
