mail-extract-address-components thinks a "-" surrounded by spaces
separates the name from a following comment. On the other hand, a "-"
surrounded by other name-constituent characters is presumed to be just
another character in a single name word. A reasonable heuristic would be
that if only one name word has been seen so far to presume that a "-"
preceded by spaces and followed by spaces and a name word is actually part
of a single name word.
mail-extract-address-components does correctly recognize "~{6-HpLN~}" as a
single name word. (It's one or more Chinese characters.)
Add this to Jamie's to-do list. :-)
