Right, but an address like that does not appear in these mails.

The "To" address contained in the mail I received was

  "'mails.kmail-bug-test at gunter.example.com'"
<mails.kmail-bug-test at gunter.example.com>

This, I think, is a valid address with an admittedly strange looking quoted
"display name" and an address specification in angle brackets.

Thus kMail should not garble this address if I merely forward a mail which
contains an address formatted this way.

However, if I "bounce" a mail containing a "To" address like this, kMail
destroys the "To" address line. (See the pasted "bounced" mail from above.)
This should not happen, kMail should bounce the mail as-is.
