I am using SMTP. The string is contained in cyrus imapd and appears there
because I am using an IMAP sentbox.
Apparently, libbalsa_message_queue uses mutt_write_fcc to writ ethe message
to the outbox first, then to the fccbox. That second invocation of
mutt_write_fcc caused the message, but the email should, at that time, have
already been written to the outbox. So chances are good that it actually did
go out and I just lost my local copy.
However, this points to a problem in formatting messages for storage in
IMAP, probably another case of not quoting strings that may contain spaces.
