This is correct. We discussed this a while back on this list and came up
with several solutions. My solution is to unset any text properties on the
string being copied in the function mail-extract-address-components.
For those who are interested, the patch to emacs-19.29's mail-extr.el
follows. Richard Stallman has told me this problem will be fixed in the
next version of emacs (19.30?).
