The actual header line as transmitted was:
From: James E Keenan <jkeenan@pobox.com>Sawyer X <xsawyerx@gmail.com>
which is syntactically invalid. People's MUAs are interpreting this
in quite a variety of ways. Mutt (which I use) renders it as the
relatively sober
From: James E Keenan <jkeenan@pobox.com>, Sawyer X <xsawyerx@gmail.com>
(Multiple authors of one message is a valid usage, though rare.)
mauke on IRC mentioned
James E KeenanSawyer X <"jkeenan@pobox.comxsawyerx"@gmail.com>
which is at least syntactically valid, unlike the concatenation that
you quoted above.
There's a lesson somewhere in here about the application of the Postel
principle.
