Ok, I think I found a way to reproduce this.

I'm attaching a sample message.  If you drop it into a maildir/mh
folder, it should show up correctly in claws (i.e., no visible problems
in the headers).

Hit "reply-all".

Then change the to/cc addresses from derekn1/2/3 at foolabs.com to your
own address -- leaving all of the text outside the "<...>" unchanged.

Then set the encoding to ISO-2022-JP (options -> character encoding ->
Japanese -> ISO-2022-JP).

Now hit "send".

Best I can tell, the to/cc headers generated by claws contain ">" and
"(" characters in the printed-quotable sections.  And I think that's
illegal -- but please correct me if that's not the case.
