I think this is a valid address..
I gave RFC2047 and RFC822 a quick read. The phase part is a sequence of
one or more `word' syntax items. In Section 5 of RFC2047,
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2047#section-5
at point (3) the `encoded-word' syntax is mentioned as a replacement of
the word syntax with a phase part. In RFC822 the word syntax was either
an atom or a quoted-string. In the situation above, obviously, a quoted
sting is used. In the item list that follows in section 5 of RFC2047,
however, the above situation is explicitly denied:
+ An 'encoded-word' MUST NOT appear within a 'quoted-string'.
So, there does seem to be a bug in the mailer used by the person sending the
message.

Stephan.
