I didn't realize this was part of an RFC.  Apparently it is a
long-standing bug in Thunderbird:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=337330

It was originally opened in 2006!

I will need to double check with Mac mail and Evolution.  I have a
suspicion that Outlook will be the "dumbest" client of all in this
regard, but do not have access to test that or Mac mail at present.

Thanks for the info.
