We have to look at the successor of Harald's "MIXER" spec. and check if
it needs that:  RFC 2156.  One example in 2156 uses no quoted string:

| Message-ID:
|  <562*/S=Eppenberger/OU=verw/O=switch/PRMD=SWITCH/ADMD=ARCOM/C=CH/@MHS>

Examples for the opposite direction (from 822 to X.400) use it, we can
probably ignore them:

| Message-ID: <"bells.cs.u.694:07.01.91.15.48.34"@cs.ucl.ac.uk>

| Message-ID: <"DLE/910207154840Z/000"@cs.ucl.ac.uk>

P.S. to Bruce,
yes, only looking at examples is bad, but I have to go to bed now... :-)
