The "wrong" form is RFC compliant. No quotes are required, because
they are not part of the value, they are part of the syntax for a
quoted-string encapsulation of the value inside the quotes. When using
RFC 2047 encoding, the encoded string is an RFC822 atom and does not
require any quotes.
The "correct" form is not RFC compliant.
