Bug#966456: mutt: suddenly started ignoring $realname

Package: mutt
Version: 1.14.5-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I have, since several years, used a setup where I set $realname once in
my main configuration file, and set $from vi mbox-hooks depending on the
folder I have open. mutt has thus always used "$realname <$from>" as the
"From:" header in in my emails.

Suddenly, this stopped working. I have upgraded mutt on July 1st for the
last time, but this seems to have worked until some point in July 8th,
after which point all my outgoing emails went out with just "$from" in
"From:".

I can even reproduce this on a clean temporary account:

----------------8<----------------8<----------------8<-----------------
tmpuser@lemur:~$ whoami
tmpuser
tmpuser@lemur:~$ pwd
/home/tmpuser
tmpuser@lemur:~$ find
.
./.xauth
./.muttrc
./.bash_logout
./.viminfo
./.bash_profile
./Mail
./.cache
./.profile
./.bashrc
tmpuser@lemur:~$ cat .muttrc
set from="foo@example.com"
set realname="Foo Bar"
----------------8<----------------8<----------------8<-----------------

With this setup, I open mutt, hit "m" to compose, fill in "To:" and
"Subject:", write something in $EDITOR, save, quit. Then I get:

    From: foo@example.com

instead of

    From: Foo Bar <foo@example.com>

as expected. setting from to "Foo Bar <foo@example.com>" works, but this
is a regression with regards to the bevavior of years or maybe decades.
