Using %f in gnus-summary-mode-line-format the name/address field shows
up as blank when the From: address is in the following format:
<user@company.com>
(Note that there is no full name even though the <...> form is used.)
When I use %n instead of %f all looks fine.
I understand that the address format above is somewhat broken, but I
am wondering why does it work with %n and not with %f...

For reasons of efficiency, both functions guess at what the name of
the poster is, and the one function guesses differently than the other.

Would it be safe to use to use gnus-tmp-name in
gnus-summary-from-or-to-or-newsgroups?
