There were several changes in the code related to MIME header encoding
between 8.0.9 and 8.0.12. Can you please verify if this is still an
issue in later VM versions (current 8.0.* or 8.1.0-beta)?

vm: vm-mime-encode-headers may mess up recipient addresses
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/490021
You received this bug notification because you are a member of VM
development team, which is the registrant for VM.

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

Bug description:
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,
