mutt deletes space characters in recipients address

[Lutz Jankowski]

When entering a recipients address that contains a space character, mutt just deletes it. The behaviour is the same whether you sent the email in a single command from the terminal or use mutt's interface.

"jankowski+spa ce"@pre-sense.de
is changed to
jankowski+sp...@pre-sense.de



Is this a bug or a feature?

We are currently using Mutt 1.5.24.

Trying to escape the space with a backslash, just leaves the backslash there.
