And if you have

(set-language-environment "czech")

in the .emacs as I have? But in your headers there is:

From: Kai.Grossjohann@CS.Uni-Dortmund.DE (Kai=?iso-8859-1?q?_Gro=DFjohann?=)

So mail-extr should correctly parse it (because there is a specification of
the charset) and return your address and your name correctly even if I have
different language environment. But it does not for me, cause I have czech
language environment chosen. But how is my language environment connected to
the mail-extract-... function? I do not know. But I think there is an error
somewhere...

If mail-extr is only getting

ie. without ?iso-8859-1?q? things in it, then the caller is buggy because it
should inform mail-extr of the charset used or if it does, the function does
not use this information and use language-environment.

:-) ml. is like jr. in english. Hmm, I should probably read how to use
personality in Gnus.
