Bizarre. That's not a charset issue, that's a flat-out illegal RFC
2047 encoding, and violates several MUST NOT's in the RFC. Off the top
of my head:
- MUST NOT appear in any portion of an addr-spec (i.e. an address)
- white space characters MUST NOT appear between components of an
encoded word
>note that the odd "From:" appears in the raw mbox file.
Wherever it came from, something corrupted that message. Google has
been known to do this; I don't know of anyone else, though.
