Doc Type: If docs needed, set a value
Doc Text:
A flaw was found in Go's net/mail standard library package. The ParseAddressList function incorrectly handles comments (text within parentheses) within display names. Since this is a misalignment with conforming address parsers, it can result in different trust decisions made by programs using different parsers.
