I'm getting rejection for a syntax error.
This seems to contradict the documentation.

In response to

	whois -h whois.ripe.net -- '-v role'

I get

	abuse-mailbox

	   Specifies the e-mail address to which abuse complaints should be 
sent.

	     An e-mail address as defined in RFC 2822.

In RFC 2822, I find

	address         =       mailbox / group
	mailbox         =       name-addr / addr-spec
	name-addr       =       [display-name] angle-addr
	angle-addr      =       [CFWS] "<" addr-spec ">" [CFWS] / 
obs-angle-addr
	group           =       display-name ":" [mailbox-list / CFWS] ";"
	                        [CFWS]
	display-name    =       phrase

Yet, I get the following in response to my update request.

	abuse-mailbox:  Contact for SPAM abuse@localhost
	***Error: Syntax error in "Contact for SPAM abuse@localhost"
	abuse-mailbox:  Contact for other abuse security@localhost
	***Error: Syntax error in "Contact for other abuse security@localhost"

What's the story?
