Indeed, which is why the RFC exists.  But it has long been a design
principle of Mutt that it should emit only output which conforms to
the RFCs, in keeping with the robustness principle:  "Be lenient in
what you accept, but strict in what you emit."  When other mail
clients (or mail users) do not adhere to that, Mutt is not at fault.

I realize there is an element of "tilting at windmills" to this, but,
if you run into such cases which cause issues, your complaint should
be with tthose users or mail clients, not Mutt, since Mutt obeys the
rules.
