Hum, K9 is coding the header, the real, is indeed in quoted printable

From: =?utf-8?Q?Email:_Dire=C3=A7=C3=A3o?= <direccao@-----.pt>

This is an invalid encoding. The display name needs to be an RFC 5322 phrase. A : is only allowed in a quoted string or in encoded form in an RFC 2047 encoded word.

Did you use K-9 Mail to create this email? Or did some other email client create this header?

In my tests K-9 Mail encoded names containing : correctly.

Closing this issue because no further information was provided.
