Done. This will leave `&' alone in most cases, instead of
substituting. In order to make anyone who thinks that we should
perpetuate old UNIX brokenness happy, it will do the substitution iff
the `&' is the last word in the Full Name.
e.g. (with this patch):
(mail-extract-address-components "Charlie & <root@notcom.com>")
("Charlie Root" "root@notcom.com")
(mail-extract-address-components "Charlie & Joe <root@notcom.com>")
("Charlie & Joe" "root@notcom.com")
If anyone sees anything wrong with this behavior, or with the patch
itself, please let me know. Otherwise, I would like to suggest that
this be incorporated into Emacs and XEmacs.
