I think you pretty much hit the nail on the head: his "From:" header
is invalid. Mutt can see that it's invalid, and so refuses to trust
it. As I see it, mutt is behaving defensively. But more specifically,
several of those characters are invalid in email addresses, which
demonstrates that the header does not contain trustworthy data.
Since mutt cannot trust the From header, and thus cannot properly
decode that header, it cannot *use* that header. So mutt treats the
message almost as if it didn't have that header.
For a metaphor: if you were in a restaurant and found something that
shouldn't be there (e.g. a screw) in the sauce on the dish you
ordered, what would you do? Would you just take the screw out, assume
that the sauce is fine, and continue eating? Or would you choose not
to eat the sauce? Mutt, like you, chooses not to eat the sauce.
Make sense?
