Glad to know, someone liked it ;)

I noticed that too, recently. I think this is a bug within mutt, since
it does not check for \-escaped whitespace. You should probably open a
ticket a dev.mutt.org/trac I haven't found time to look into this yet,
so it would be best to let the mutt developers know of the issue.
See also the manual:

| description is an optional string to use as the description of the
