Note that RFC 822 became obsolete when RFC 2822 was released in April
2001. The 2822 document clarifies 822. I do not remember this topic
(blanks in a username) being discussed in the DRUMS mailing list, but
I may be mistaken. (And at the same time RFC 2821 [SMTP] obsoleted
RFC 821.)
The interpretation of quotation marks is an interaction between sendmail
and the user shell. It is for the same reason that I dislike e-mail
addresses that contain a quotation mark
