SUMMARY

Microsoft Exchange and Outlook clients now support the additional RFC822 one-off addresses in the following forms:
John Smith <JSMITH@XYZ.COM>
John Smith <"<John>Smith"@XYZ.COM>
<JSMITH@XYZ.COM>

MORE INFORMATION

These additional addressing forms are only available as one-off addresses. PAB SMTP addresses still need to be entered as follows:
Display Name: John Smith
Email Address: JSMITH@XYZ.COM
The new SMTP parsing code is only invoked when an SMTP address has been entered as a one-off on the "TO" line and a "check names" is performed.

When a one-off address similar to:
John Smith <JSMITH@XYZ.COM>
has been entered on the "TO" line, the one-off address will be parsed as follows:
Display Name: John Smith <JSMITH@XYZ.COM>
Email Address: JSMITH@XYZ.COM
Address Type: SMTP
