Same here. That's why I added the ugly hack


Same what? Can someone explain the observed issue in some detail?
All I am seeing is questions about an ill-advised hypothetical solution.

When I put my Cyrillic name into Apple's MUA, the From: header read:

    From: =?utf-8?B?0JLQuNC60YLQvtGAINCU0YPRhdC+0LLQvdGL0Lk=?= <mailbox>

this does not include any double quotes, and Outlook reads it just fine,
at least with the one Outlook user I tested.

Can someone explain with some specificity what problem you are trying
to solve, rather than the (so far misguided :-( ) solution?

The problem is that on some mails sent from Outlook it is not possible to answer with Thunderbird because the sender address is split into two invalid mailadresses when doing a reply. This only happens when there are special chars in the display name but not every time.

1.) Mail created with Outlook/Exchange (MAPI)
From: =?iso-8859-1?Q?H=F6fler=2C_Verena?= <x...@xxxxx.de>
To: =?iso-8859-1?Q?=27=22H=F6fler=2C_Martin=22=27?= <xx...@kwsoft.de>

The To-Header is wrong (=22 -> "), with this Thunderbird creates two recpient addresses of the form:

Höfler
Verena <x...@xxxx.de>

when doing reply. The User get a error because a invalid mailaddress so he/she cannot answer the mail. In Outlook 2000 this was also a problem when answering, Outlook >2003-SP3 seems to be fixed.

2.) Outlook 2003 without Exchange
From: =?iso-8859-1?Q?H=F6fler=2C_Martin?= <xx...@xxxxx.de>
To: =?iso-8859-1?Q?Erwin_H=F6fler?= <xx...@xxxxx.de>

From-Header is the same, To-Header is correct. No Problem when doing reply with Thunderbird.

So it seems that Thunderbird is choking on the wrong To-Header from Outlook when doing a reply...
