AFAIK, this should not happen.  In particular, this response email,
where the To: header was produced by my MUA, has your correct
unmangled email address.

As Steve points out, the first binding includes an error, a typo,
where { was used instead of (.

I see no Emacs bug here.

The error is because the first let-binding binds `oct-str' to both
`{number-to-string' and `n'.  I guess `{' is a typo for `(' and there
should also be a closing `)': `(oct-str (number-to-string n))'.

The error is because the first let-binding binds `oct-str' to both
`{number-to-string' and `n'.  I guess `{' is a typo for `(' and there
should also be a closing `)': `(oct-str (number-to-string n))'.

I'm reporting a bug in Gnu emacs lisp, but I'm also reporting a bug in thep=
rocess of reporting emacs lisp bugs.=C2=A0 This first bug consists in the f=
actthat, in bug reports sent using M-x report-emacs-bug, my email address (=
lewcreary@HIDDEN, in the "from:" field of the email), would have been mangl=
ed into a somewhat similar, but different, address in the process of submit=
ting the report.=C2=A0 As a result, any acknowledgment email intended for m=
e (but sent to the mangled address) would not reach me, but wouldinstead ge=
nerate a "no such person" mailing error.

to test the lisp function displayed just below, I triggered the lisp errorm=
