Yes, and I think other servers do this as well. See the "Envelope  
mangling" thread in:

http://www.faqchest.com/prgm/wuimap-l/imap-03/imap-0305/imap-030500/

I still don't think it's necessarily such a good idea, but I'd rather

Bottom of lib-imap/imap-quote.c :

	imap_quote_append(str, value, value_len, TRUE);

change TRUE to FALSE.
