I noticed a weird quirk recently between two different mutt installs
(both fairly recent) that I have.

If I enter in an address which is technically RFC compliant as quoted,
though uncommon, such as: "[email protected]"@example.com mutt 1.5.20
from 6/2009 allows me to put that in an address field (like "To). Mutt
1.5.21, from 9/2010 silently removes the address from that field (or, if
composing a new message, doesn't open the editor). I don't think MTA
settings are involved, since it removes the address before actually
attempting to send anything.

Is this the expected behavior? I don't think any of the patches I've
applied should affect this particular type of behavior.

Accepts it:
