That's unfortunate, but I'm not sure what that has to do with IMP.

It does that in at least: mutt, elm, pine, eudora. That's because
that's what's *supposed* to happen; the 'real name' part of the
address contains a special character, the comma, which needs quoting
so that mail transports don't see "Evans" as one address and "Tim
<Tim_Evans@troweprice.com> as another.

I've Cc'd you on this to see where the bounce originates.
