jap added a comment to T7675: a user-id with just an email address (and not a display name) has no angle brackets surrounding the email address.

Thanks for elaborating and the reference to rfc2440 - I now understand where that stray mail (between [RFC2822] and name-addr) in rfc4880 comes from...
Anyway, I'll treat it as if it says RFC 2822 mailbox and will treat angle brackets with bare addresses as optional.

werner closed T7675: a user-id with just an email address (and not a display name) has no angle brackets surrounding the email address as Resolved.

I see, I had rfc2440 in mind which says:

By convention, it includes  an RFC 822 mail name, but there are no restrictions on its content.

thus 4880 refined it a bit. But in practice it is not the same because it is utf8 and not punycode or whatever. let's close this bug because they way it is used will work with all mail clients.

werner triaged T7619: [yat2m] gpg-agent manpage formatting issues as Normal priority.

Thanks for the patch but I think it is better to fix this in yat2m. I created a new tag for bugs related to it.
