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.

Is this a bug or a feature?

According to the formal syntax the backslash is required, and transforming "a\ b"@example.com to "a\b"@example.com is wrong. But I'm curious, what do you use that for? It sounds like a bug magnet of the worst kind.

  quoted-string   =   [CFWS]
                      DQUOTE *([FWS] qcontent) [FWS] DQUOTE
                      [CFWS]

  qcontent        =   qtext / quoted-pair

  qtext           =   %d33 /             ; Printable US-ASCII
                      %d35-91 /          ;  characters not including
                      %d93-126 /         ;  "\" or the quote character
                      obs-qtext

  quoted-pair     =   ("\" (VCHAR / WSP)) / obs-qp

(WSP is defined in the text as SP / TAB / HTAB.)
