I think Gnus is wrong in truncating > the name. This may also apply to other lines in the header. 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. -- Michael Duggan (md5i@cs.cmu.edu)
