For the version 1.6 which is used by Jack the < and > are needed.
Probably there is no valid occurrences of spaces and tabs,
but we should be prepared for the non-legitimate send syntax as well.
I already encountered spams using this crazy format.
(At least "< anna@...>" surely.)
Better to catch them as well, otherwise how can I request the spammers
please use "legitimate syntax"?
My experience shows not to expect much cooperation from their part.

Bests,
Attila
