Too bad you continue to miss any salient point....   Forget about 2047
for a moment

To: "Rabbit, Duck, Stuffed" <place at nowhere.com>

And your mutt ended up putting it in Cc: as....

Cc: Rabbit, Duck, Stuffed <place at nowhere.com>

The "Rabbit, Duck, Stuffed" needs to be treated as one item....  As I
said, TBird and 3 other treated the reply to Frank's email
correctly.....and even knew how to parse the rfc 2047.  Your mutt broke
it....   I'm sorry you can't see that...

Yes, I will....  Too bad it will involve added a certain sender to my
kill file so I don't have to remember to fix the crap being sent. 

As I said before *YOURS* is the *ONLY* emails causing problems....

I am sure you believe you are correct....and will continue to do so. 
Best of luck to you....
