No, qmail-inject can munge up an e-mail address any way it likes because
the behavior of the program your MUA runs is not govered by any standard
whatsoever.
I think you missed the fact that RFC 822 is an *Internet* standard and
hence specifies what's sent *between* systems. It says absolutely nothing
about what happens *on* a system, or what canonicalization processes user
interface software may apply to headers.
You'll find that sendmail does all sorts of bizarre things with locally
injected mail. It doesn't violate RFC 822 by doing so either.
Please become more familiar with the nature and scope of IETF standards
before using them as an arguing point.
