Status in VM (View Mail) for Emacs: Confirmed
Status in “vm” package in Debian: Confirmed

Bug description:
When I reply to an email from someone with an 8-bit character in their name, such as 
  "=?iso-8859-1?Q?V=EDctor_Paesa?=" <xxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

The In-reply-to field gets the un-escaped name:
  In-Reply-To: message from Víctor Paesa on Sunday July 15

And a number of mail systems reject the email as 8bit characters in headers are illegal.
