 Package: mutt
 Version: 1.2.4i
 Severity: wishlist

 -- Please type your report below this line

 If I need to send mail to someone with a ! or % in the full name,
 mutt does not automatically quote the full name. This causes
 minor problems in some systems.

 The ! and % characters are not specials according to RFC 822.
 However, they are still used in some environments, and some
 mailers will try to parse such addresses. The mailers may get
 a little bit confused when presented with unquoted ! or %
 characters in the full name.

 I can't find any RFC that says ! or % should be quoted in the
 full name part. Therefore I think this is only a feature request.
