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>

<div class="moreinformation_section">

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
