That's the QSBMF encoding, which is line-delimited and has no special
quoting characters. Why do you think the QSBMF encoding should be the
same as the SMTP encoding?
Correct address handling is conceptually quite straightforward:
* SMTP writers encode addresses as specified in RFC 821.
* SMTP readers decode addresses as specified in RFC 821.
* Standard header writers encode addresses as specified in RFC 822.
* Standard header readers decode addresses as specified in RFC 822.
* QSBMF writers encode addresses as specified in the QSBMF spec.
* QSBMF readers decode addresses as specified in the QSBMF spec.
And so on. Everything works fine if the encoders and decoders are
properly implemented---as they are in MMDF, for example, and in qmail.
