This From:-header confuses mozilla because of the encoded comma:
From: =?iso-8859-1?Q?D=F6rge=2C_Michael?= <someone@example.com>

It decodes to "Dörge, Michael <someone@example.com>". The comma, however, is not
escaped. MailNews dispay the name "Dörge" in the message list and the string
"Michael <someone@example.com>" in the gray bar beetween message-list and message.

Answers are sent to Dörge@exmaple.com and Michael <someone@example.com>

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Receive a mail with an MIME-encoded comma in the from header.
2. Look at the from column in the message list and the gray bar above the message
3. Try to answer the message and have a look at the to-headers.

Actual Results:  
From-header is split at the comma.

Expected Results:  
From-header should be treated as one unit (escaping the comma by putting the
complete name in quotes if necessary)
