Well, i think that the From header (and other headers) should be
created after encoding. For example, when i do
(setq message-from-style 'angles), my From header looks like:

From: "=?iso-8859-5?b?stvQ1Njc2OAgst7b3tLY5w==?=" <vvv@vvv.vsu.ru>

instead of perfectly legal (and better) form without quotes:

From: =?iso-8859-5?b?stvQ1Njc2OAgst7b3tLY5w==?= <vvv@vvv.vsu.ru>

without quotes.

For example, the following forms of headers are legal:

From: =?ISO-2022-JP?B?GyRCPGkyLBsoQiAbJEJDTkknGyhC?= <morioka@jaist.ac.jp>

From: =?ISO-2022-JP?B?GyRCPGkyLBsoQiAbJEJDTkknGyhC?= (MORIOKA Tomohiko) <morioka@jaist.ac.jp>

There is no need to quote the encoded-word imho, because it does not
contain any `dangerous' characters.

	Best regards, -- Vladimir.
