Details
mozilla seems to have a different idea of valid e-mail-addresses than rfc2822.
As an obsolete (but valid) example, this address:
<pcg( Marc)@goof(A.).(Lehmann )com>
is not accepted as the personal e-mail-address in the wizard (with or without
<>), which is probably ok, since mozilla might require a special syntax, and not
a general e-mail-address with nawme etc.
More serious is the problem that mozilla garbles this address when sending
e-mail to it, gateways just get this:
"""pcg"@goof.com
i.e. the comments haven't been removed (as is required by SMTP, which doesn't
use the same format as e.g. To: header lines(!)), but instead garbled in a very
strange way into ""-comments. This keeps mozilla users from replying to any
e-mail that is formatted similarly.
The same problem happens with non-obsolete rfc2822-addresses, if you place
comments inside the address phrase.

Even though your example does not match 100% I'll dupe you. That's pretty close
and will probably be dealt with in one fix.
