At least quoting tspecial characters that are within parentheses
with backslashes seems to be overkill. I've modified the
`rfc2047-quote-special-characters-in-quoted-strings' function in
the trunk so that it skips closed parentheses. (This change
needs to be tested widely before merging it to the v5-10 branch
because headers for which the `r-q-s-c-i-q-s' function is used
are not only In-Reply-To.)
BTW, I'm not sure how the In-Reply-To header is actually used.
If anything, I consider it is a useless header, so I've never
been adding it to outgoing messages for years. (Gcc'd ones have
it for verifying whether it is created correctly, though.)
