Package: bugs.debian.org
Severity: important

Using my chosen MUA's "followup" function, I sometimes find addresses of the
form " =?utf-8?q?530...@bugs.debian.org?= <530...@bugs.debian.org>" in the To
header. Normally, I edit this down to just "530...@bugs.debian.org"; for
once, I let it through, and I promptly got a "550 Administrative prohibition"
from rietz.

I resent the message without any significant editing and got another 550
(call it confirmation that there is a problem). I then edited it a bit,
removing the quoted-printable encoding (leaving it as "530...@bugs.debian.org
<530...@bugs.debian.org>"), then resent it; rietz accepted this without
complaint.

(Why the encoding? There was another name+address pair there in which the
name contains a non-ASCII character.)
