I agree with Charles. Lets face it these standards are a great concept but the real world is not so black and white espicaly when Microsoft is a large player. outlook, outlook express, and exchange all do non rfc compliant things and it would be a foolish mistake to not work around such a large part of the market.

Well, correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe what you're suggesting (running each header though a validator that checks it for RFC compliance and discards non-compliant headers) would require significantly more "hoop jumping" than escaping quotes in the headers. That said I'm not familiar with the the governing RFCs, so I'm not sure if this is the best solution. What I am sure is that I don't want people to be able to send me e-mails (by accident, not maliciously, mind you) that break RC.

Notice the double quote just hanging out there in the From address. This fubars the HTML which then messes up the JS call. It would seem that we need to escape headers.
That's an invalid RFC 2822 From: header. I see no reason for RoundCube to jump through hoops trying to accommodate messages that are this severely broken.
If anything, the above From: header field should simply be ignored.
