But it *is* quite properly quoted for an RFC822 mailbox (localpart@domain).

Ugly, but legal.  Outside pair of " quote the string, and inside the string
the " that are part of the localpart are properly \ escaped.

Of course, 822 is *oogly*.  foobar@oracle(this is a comment).com  is legitimate too,
as are some even uglier.  See 822, section 3.1.4.  Bring a barf bucket. :)
