Evolution bug. It really shouldn't be sending them in "strings". I  
doubt Dovecot is the only server that doesn't accept them. Although it  
is strange that it's sending both NotJunk and "NotJunk". Perhaps the  
message for some reason has those two different flags set, and  
Evolution just tries to preserve them? In any case it's against RFC so  
it shouldn't be doing that..
