------- Additional Comments From bernhard intevation de  2006-04-28 18:25 -------
I am am reopening the bug, because I think the =?us-ascii?Q?Surname, Name?encoding \
already is a phrase, thus there cannot be further encoding around it.

This makes the behaviour a failure with major severity
as this affect interoperability with other email clients that send
this correct encoding (and have no other choice with non-ascii names).

Here the reference to the interpretation:
rfc2882 (proposed standard)
  3.2.6. Miscellaneous tokens
[..]
  word            =       atom / quoted-string

  phrase          =       1*word / obs-phrase

[..]
  3.4. Address Specification
[..]
  mailbox         =       name-addr / addr-spec

  name-addr       =       [display-name] angle-addr
[..]
  display-name    =       phrase


rfc2047 (draft standard)
  5. Use of encoded-words in message headers
[..]
  (3) As a replacement for a 'word' entity within a 'phrase', for example,
    one that precedes an address in a From, To, or Cc header.  The ABNF
    definition for 'phrase' from RFC 822 thus becomes:

    phrase = 1*( encoded-word / word )


As you can see from the syntax definition above:
phrase can have several words and encoded words.
But only words can be quoted-strings with DQUOTE (") characters around them.
encoded-words MUST not be enclosed by DQUOTE characters.
