[OT - Mutt users] Mutt and external address query



When I use an external address lookup in Mutt, by typing a name and
pressing ^T, often (but not always) the address that comes back is
something like:

Tom Cook^T <tom.cook@adelaide.edu.au>

and I have to manually delete the ^T.  Why does mutt insert this
character?  When I add some debugging output to my external query
script it shows that the ^T (0x14) is *not* being transmitted to the
script, and yet it is being inserted into the resulting address, even
where the name I entered and the result of the query is different, and
what I typed is replaced by the name from the query.

Surely this is very strange behaviour.  Can anyone explain it to me?
