Hi,

   > Hm.  This seems to be a different problem, though.

yes, when you set gnus-extract-address-components to
mail-extract-address-components from mail-extr.el it will correctly display
the sender with

From: <someone@somewhere.com>

but it can fail on some correct From headers like yours. There is probably
some bug in regexp there...

Yes, it solves my problem. I can customize it to be mail-...

If I leave gnus-extract-address-components untouched I see your name complete,
but mail-extract-... is buggy for it.

Maybe some with gnus-extract-... variable customized to mail-... :-)) But it
is NOT your fault. It is Emacs's mail-extr fault.

OK. This message should contain it :-) If I send a test message to myself
which contains


[-- Attachment #2: Type: text/plain, Size: 205 bytes --]

From: "Pavel Janík ml." <Pavel.Janik@inet.cz>

and customize the gnus-extract-... to mail-... it will display only Pavel
Janík even if there is "Pavel Janík ml."...
