I read IETF mailing lists on the IETF's IMAP server* and of late I've been
seeing some awfully funky stuff.
This is an actual Message-ID header in one of the messages in dnsop.
Is that valid? Even though the MIME decodes to a an ASCII message ID
in the <string@domain> format, I think the answer is no. That's not
what RFC 5322 sec 3.6 allows.
Message-ID: =?utf-8?q?=3CBN7PR11MB25474DF04998FF3AA9E0B80BC9E40=40BN7PR11MB2?=
=?utf-8?q?547=2Enamprd11=2Eprod=2Eoutlook=2Ecom=3E?=
R's,
John
PS: Same question about References with mime-encoded text.
* - actually I copy the messages to my local news server so I can use
threading and killfiles. The copy program was having trouble with
the message-ids, which NNTP needs to do duplicate detection.
