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.
