Which version? I don't remember seeing Outlook putting spaces in
encoded words.

No, there must be another problem, because the same header with an
added dummy address is displayed the same in index and pager. With this:
| From: "=?iso-8859-1?Q?Jo=E3o_T. _da_Costa?=" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
...a stock Mutt 1.4 doesn't decode the name, because it's invalid
coding because of the space:

With the decode_2047_invalid patch, it appears perfectly decoded in
both places (and in "To:" in a reply):

So, what were you seeing exactly? Perhaps the email address is
malformed, or you have an alias and $reverse_alias is set? If no secret,
send me the culprit mail gzipped and attached to a private mail: I'll
see what I can dig out.

Well... Let's guess that without the a tilde, there is no more
encoded word: so no more problem in Mutt to decode it. It's more a loss
of functionality than a solution.
Bye! Alain.
