Comment:
Well, from _my_ reading of RFC 2047 and RFC 822,
RFC 822, 4.1 SYNTAX:
{{{
originator = authentic ; authenticated addr
[ "Reply-To" ":" 1#address] )
authentic = "From" ":" mailbox ; Single author
/ ( "Sender" ":" mailbox ; Actual submittor
"From" ":" 1#mailbox) ; Multiple authors
; or not sender
}}}
RFC 822, 6.1 SYNTAX:
{{{
mailbox = addr-spec ; simple address
/ phrase route-addr ; name & addr-spec
route-addr = "<" [route] addr-spec ">"
route = 1#("@" domain) ":" ; path-relative
addr-spec = local-part "@" domain ; global address
}}}
and RFC 2047, 6.1. Recognition of 'encoded-word's in message headers:
{{{
(2) Any header field not defined as '*text' should be parsed
according to the syntax rules for that header field. However,
any 'word' that appears within a 'phrase' should be treated as an
'encoded-word' if it meets the syntax rules in section 2.
Otherwise it should be treated as an ordinary 'word'.
}}}
this is for sure mutt's own bug.
Gmail is encoding the 'phrase', not the 'addr-spec', which is perfectly
ok.
