You can fix this by setting `gnus-extract-address-components' to
`mail-extract-address-components' instead of
`gnus-extract-address-components'. From the docs:
gnus-extract-address-components's value is
gnus-extract-address-components
Documentation:
*Function for extracting address components from a From header.
Two pre-defined function exist: `gnus-extract-address-components',
which is the default, quite fast, and too simplistic solution, and
`mail-extract-address-components', which works much better, but is
slower.
