I ask this here a while back. The answer is that the arguments to qmail-inject
are raw email addresses, they are NOT encoded. It is annoying that sendmail
does things differently.

This can cause problems for programs, such as mutt, when using addresses
that need to be quoted, since the arguments it needs to pass are different
for qmail-inject and sendmail.
