Yup.  Fix in Pterodactyl Gnus v0.30.

It's because the From header is created before the header is encoded,
and the first form is used when the display name looks like it's not
going to fit in the second format.  Which is does only after encoding.

So to force the second form, set `message-from-style' to `angles'.
