The ${quote: operator in Exim is very conservative. It quotes if the
text contains anything other than letters, digits, underscores, dots,
and hyphens.
An unquoted local part may in addition contain ! # $ % & ' * + / = ? ^ `
{ | } and ~.
I cannot now remember why ${quote: was so restrictive; I think it may
have been trying to be very general for all kinds of situations, not
just local parts.
I suppose there could be ${quote_localpart: as well, if people feel
strongly about this.
