It would be interesting to know whether this is a regression from Thunderbird 2.

You probably can not observe this bug's phenomenon with Tb2.
  When From: is abc , def <mail-addr>, From: in header box at message pane is;
    ({ } == text-box. Context menu is displayed for each text-box)
  - Tb 2 (BUG 254519 exists)   : { abc } , { def <mail-addr> }
  - Tb 3 (BUG 254519 is fixed) : { abc , def <mail-addr> }

Logic for "Compose Mail To" seems to support multiple mail addresses, although context menu is always displayed for each mail address which is separated by ",".
I think one of next can be a solution. 
  (a) Change content of the text-box to { "abc , def" <mail-addr> }.
  (b) Always assume "single mail address" in logic for "Compose Mail To",
      and if "," is detected, quotes name part by double-quote.

Hm, I can't reproduce this with ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/nightly/latest-comm-1.9.1/

If someone can, please attach a testcase (save as .eml)

Attachment: Mail folder file

Phenomenon of comment #3 still can be observed with next build.

Thunderbird 3.0.2 does NOT fix this ugly bug :-(

This has worked in 2.x without any troubles, why does it take months to get it working again?

Eckard, any chance you can test this on Mac?

Comment 9

[Eckard Berberich]

How do I recognize an email with RFC2047 encoded sender address ?

Comment 10

[Jens Müller (:tessarakt)]

Ctrl-U to view the source of the mail:

This is an example:

From: =?UTF-8?Q?Jens_M=c3=bcller?= <ich@...>

But of course that one does not contain a comma ...

Comment 11

[Jens Müller (:tessarakt)]

OK, I found one mail in my inbox with a quoted-printable encoded From: which also contains a comma ...

Right click and "Compose message to" works as expected: Only one recipient row is filled in the compose window.

Comment 12

[Eckard Berberich]

I can't find one with a comma.
I too have examples like this one

From: =?UTF-8?Q?=22B=C3=A4rbel_Hxxxxxxx=22?= <[e-mail]>

but there is no comma.
