The " character is not valid where you use it according to the
standards. You should really call yourself
"Maciej \"SomethingHere\" Matysiak" <phoner@blah.pl>
and news readers should strip away the surrounding "'s and the \'s in
there.
Anyway. Gnus uses a very simple (and efficient) method to extract the
components. See the "Summary Buffer Format" node in the Gnus manual
for details on how to get correct results.
