Re: migrating from mailman?

Al,

That's an obsolete format for including a comment with an address (rfc5322 section 3.4).

Now, Groups IO has a much more stringent protocol in how it accepts
email addresses in the direct add feature. Please read the syntax
prior to submitting.

That's the current standard for including a display-name with an address (same RFC & section). The double-quotes are optional if the display-name does not contain certain punctuation marks ( ) < > [ ] : ; @ \ , . or "
The angle brackets are optional if there is no display-name.

So, if you are only going to subscribe email addresses extracted from
mailman, you will need to manually edit that file so only the email
address is on the line or if you want to include the name it needs to
be as Mark has indicated on that direct add page.
I would probably use Excel or the search-and-replace capability of my preferred programmer's text editor (Epsilon) to reformat the file, rather than a completely manual process.
