Andrey Utkin replied to a message that had a UTF-8 character in the
References header. It was bounced by the linux kernel mailing list
because of the non-ascii header.
The question is what, if anything, mutt should do about an illegal
character in the References header?
A retry using the Fastmail web interface worked, but dealt with it by
RFC2047 encoding the header. I need to look to see if that is even legal,
but an initial analysis by Cameron Simpson seemed to indicate that RFC2047
should not be applied to this header.
