The library mail-extr is the one shipped with emacs-20.2.

Well, funny. I put this text via cut-and-paste in the scratch buffer
and evaluated the expression as desired. The result was:
("Max Sch" "max@plank.org")
But, if I startet another emacs (language-environment was not already
set to "Latin-1", I execute the function in gnus-startup-hook), and
pasted the text from scratch-buffer to it, a \201 showed up before the
"ä". If I delete this, then mail-extract-address-components returns
("Max Schäfer" "max@plank.org")
als desired. Otherwise it's the same as above.
Well, I think, I should convince the system administrator to install
emacs-20.3 (or the bad way: do it for myself - as suggested before).

Thank _you_ for your efforts.
