A couple of other similar ones I've seen recently:

	from <Lola & Connie@vol.it>
 
and	from <NETWiRE!@netcom.ca>

both likely not RFC822/9xx, but "NETWiRE!" does seem to be what
'Pegasus Mail for Win32 (v2.53/R1)' is using at that site...

Seems these stupid stupid MESSDOS box mail setups lack a lot of sanity
checking.
