So I signed up for a mail list. But google refuses to send the email
that I must send to confirm the subscription. So I thought I should
bypass this tyranical system by using my super UNIX mail program
friend. But it sucked.
%printf 'From: dbastos@toledo.com\n' | mail -s stuff
'alerts-sc.1249915277.ohnfgbjcamanmikdjlib-dbastos=toledo.com@lists.nader.org'
Cannot parse address `alerts-sc.1249915277.ohnfgbjcamanmikdjlib-dbastos' (while
expanding `alerts-sc.1249915277.ohnfgbjcamanmikdjlib-dbastos'): Format of RFC822
object is bad
%
What's wrong exactly? This address is claimed valid by qmail/ezmlm.

Maybe ask the list maintainer if they've seen this before.

Yeah, and Google's mail handling for mailing lists is reportedly somewhat
weird anyways, though usually what I hear is it's more to do with copies
of your posts not coming back (regardless of the setting at the list
server).

The "=" sign is part of MIME that lets you use foreign character sets in
email addresses. It basically allows you to q-p or base64 encode the address.
If you really need to get around it, look up the appropriate RFCs and encode
the whole thing as a quoted-printable email address using =3D in place of
the = sign.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIME#Encoded-Word
Try the address
=?iso-8859-1?Q?alerts-sc.1249915277.ohnfgbjcamanmikdjlib-dbastos=3Dtoledo.com@lists.nader.org?=
as the to-address.
