Hi!

Using mutt 1.3.24i.

Some MUAs (like PostMe or Jubii mailer (Mime.MMail, ver: 2,4,0,15) used
by Lycos), produce badly formated quoted-printable encoded words in the
header fields.

For example, "Jubii mailer" sent me this mail (only copying relevant
headers):

+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=

>From [EMAIL PROTECTED]  Mon Dec 24 17:30:10 2001
Return-Path: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
MIME-Version: 1.0
X-Mailer: Jubii mailer (Mime.MMail, ver: 2,4,0,15)

Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+

The 2nd Content-Type "header" is because Lycos sends out HTML mail.
Anyways, PostMe also sends out mails with a From: which is just as
broken.  As you can see, the "quoted-printable" encoded-word contains
both SPACE and "; neither of these characters is allowed according to
RFC 2047.

However, the IETF motto is: "Be strict in what you produce and tolerant
to what you receive.".

Mutt should be able to handle this, even if it's broken.
