Which the patch fixes. It didn't seem to, but I think I fell for a defvar not getting replaced, since the horrible mess of require'ments means you can't unload the rfc2047 feature. [rfc2047.el really shouldn't depend on `message-posting-charset', for instance, even if people are set against providing a general MIME library.] In a fresh Emacs the patched version does do the trick, thanks. However, clearly the result for the typical form of address used in the microshaft world is bogus: (with-temp-buffer (insert "To: \"Gro=DFjohann, K (Kai)\" ") (rfc2047-encode-message-header) (buffer-string)) =3D> "To: \"=3D?iso-8859-1?q?Gro=3DDFjohann,_K_(Kai)\"_?=3D " Sorry, I don't have time to grovel the RFCs. Is one simply not allowed to use such addresses? If so, Gnus should warn rather than completely mangling it. > I agree.

People reporting bugs will potentially miss discussion.
