Interestingly enough, this is intentional.  There has been a
discussion regarding this on xemacs-beta mailing list, and the
agreement (confirmed by Jamie Zawinski, the last maintainer of
mail-extr) was that the `&' character was used for denoting the
username.  For instance:

From: & Niksic <hrvoje@foo.bar>

...would be translated as

From: Hrvoje Niksic <hrvoje@foo.bar>

mail-extr does this "properly."
