Sure it is, but the mailing list software doesn't think so, or at least
part of it does. What I meant by the above was that if the software was
going to choke on the email address, it should have done so right away,
instead of allowing it to get fully subscribed and then deciding that
it was not valid at some other point in the workflow leading up to
actually sending you some email.

The address is fully subscribed to the list, both Marc and I can verify
that. The problem is that it fails some other check when mail is sent
to it. Why in the world that logic is not centralized, I cannot imagine.

Marc, I was able to view that weird whitespace message by going to
"Subcribers", entering "neuhauser" in the search box, and then "clicking"[1]
on the troublesome name in question.

[1] I actually use links, so there is no mouse clicking involved, but I've
never been able to find a better verb to use there. :)
