Aside from the fact that recipient names with dots must be quoted in the
real header, it's relatively uncommon to use this format and the import
script I use for 3.2.y wouldn't notice it. (So I'd have to go back and
look at the original commit header to work out that it wasn't relevant.)
I don't know whether Greg's script extracts the recipient name.
