Well, I don't think this is my fault. ;)
In short, this problem is caused by the fact that mutt uses
the same decoration (color, italic, bold, or anything) for
both display names and addresses.
(Your "foo <foo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>, bar" is a display name.
And <bar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> is an address. Most of GUI MUAs
such as gmail use bigger/bolder fonts for display names.)
If you prefer having double-quotes around _every_ display
name, you are against mutt's behavior rather than my patch.
(The following comment in rfc822.c was not written by me:
>> /* if we get something like "Michael R. Elkins"
>> remove the quotes */
Hmm, whose is this? :)
If you just want to include double-quotes in your display
name, use a backslash before every double-quote. (See RFC
2822 and you'll find an example like "Giant; \"Big\" Box")
Anyway, I am not a heavy user of mutt these days.
So I've forgotten the detail of the patch.
