When writing an email to someone, the speller should not show names of email
recipients as spelling errors. Even names that are not in its DB should not be
shown if they appear in the recipients list.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Write an email to someone with an uncommon name, e.g. Bartosz, and whose name
appears in the To: box: e.g. "Bartosz XYZ <bartosz@XYZ.com>"
2.No in text field write:
Hi Bartosz,
bla bla bla...
3. Run the speller.


Actual Results:  
The speller will not know the uncommon name and notify about it as a spelling
mistake.

Expected Results:  
The speller should ignore names that appear in the reciepients list.
