[Manoj <srivasta@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Public bug reported:

When using recipients with full names containing accents, the encoding
done by vm-mime-encode-headers can produce incorrect addresses if a
space is missing after a comma. For instance:

 To: blah@xxxxxxxxxxxxx,François Fleuret <francois.fleuret@xxxxxxxx>

calling vm-mime-encode-headers produces

 To: =?iso-8859-1?Q?blah@xxxxxxxxxxxxx,Fran=E7ois?= Fleuret
<francois.fleuret@xxxxxxxx>

Hence the first address is not valid anymore. This does not happen if
the space is present.

Regards,
