Hi,
I noticed that `From: ' header in some cases gets displayed
incorrectly. To be specific, when it contains escaped double quotes,
Gnus ignores everything after first double quote. For example, the
following header:
From: "Igor \"Doc\" Berecki" <iberecki@bigfoot.com>
"expands" in *Summary* buffer to:
[ 14: Igor \ ]
Is there a way to correct this? Or is it just a bug that get
unnoticed until now?

I've always thought that setting the `gnus-extract-address-components'
variable to `mail-extract-address-components' should do the job, at
the cost of making Summary generation much slower. But I've now tried
it, and I don't get any improvement.

Well -- I think the latter function guesses right more of the time,
but even it doesn't get all the cases right.
`mail-header-parse-address' should get the correct answer 100% of the
time. Well, if the line is valid; if not, not.
