    Ok. Exim handles '{' and '}' symbols (sometiomes) in a different way.
There is no word about it in documentstion. It's a bug.
    Moreover, I thing it should be fixed by patching the code rather
than documentation. You think, it shouldn't be fixed at all. That's the
wrong way.


        Bye. Alex.
