| Subject: | Tab in email address deletes preceding text |
If an email address contains a tab (x'09') character, all text
preceding the tab is deleted when the email address is processed by the
parse method of Email::Address (version 1.892). See attached test
program and results file for example. I get the same result running
Activestate Perl 5.8.9 on Windows Vista and Perl 5.8.8 on linux.
