Build Identifier: Decoding email address with coma character

Hi!

I receive some emails (generated by Outlook) with addresses like this.
=?iso-8859-1?Q?L=E1zaro=2C_Nuria?= <nuria.lazaro@xxx.com>

Thunderbird decode this as:

Lázaro, Nuria <nuria.lazaro@xxx.com> 

The parsing of this string fails, identify two address "Lázaro", and "Nuria <nuria.lazaro@xxx.com>"

I don't know if is a bug of Thunderbird parsing this address, or a bug of outlook generating the email address.

A workaround that works for me (I use a proxy that parse the mail) is quoting the name like this 
=?iso-8859-1?Q?=22L=E1zaro=2C_Nuria=22?= <nuria.lazaro@xxx.com>

But, Thunderbird get the quotes as part of the name ("Lázaro, Nuria" instead of only Lázaro, Nuria). I don't know if this is another bug.
