"=?utf-8?Q??=" in To: field with Outlook and MailChimp

I can't find much information on this problem aside from issues with Code Igniter and long subjects (my subject is < 20 chars). I sent a campaign with MailChimp, and found that when using Outlook (Gmail web is fine), the To: field says "=?utf-8?Q??=" instead of the recipient name.

What could cause this?

The To header below encodes an empty string (nothing between two ?'s in =?utf-8?Q??=:

To: =?utf-8?Q??= <[email protected]>

Either get rid of the utf-8 encoding or actually provide a display name

To: =?utf-8?Q?Some Name?= <[email protected]>
