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.
