User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.13) Gecko/20080311 Firefox/2.0.0.13
Build Identifier: version 2.0.0.12 (20080213)

I am receiving emails from China with From: and CC: addresses starting with the names stored in Big5 base64-encoded.  If I View Message Source, I see lines like this:

=?big5?B?[rest of the name is encoded here]?= <name@domain.com>,

When decoded, the part in the name area contains "lastname, firstname".  This is interpreted by Thunderbird as two separate addresses:

lastname
firstname <name@domain.com>

This shows up as two addresses in the From: field, for instance, and when I press Reply, each of these "addresses" is shown on a separate line in the To: area, giving me invalid email address errors for the lastnames when I try to send.

Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:  
Commas inside email names should be treated as part of the name, not as an inter-address separator, no matter what the encoding.
