I'm having a lot of trouble with literals in my from headers with this
version.  Nothing I used to do seems to work reliably.  It seems to
want to just take the first word of the literal, as in "David" from
'David Benfell <benfell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>' whether I use "set from="
or a my_hdr statement.

This seems to be a problem both in and out of send-hooks.  It's
getting irritating.  How do I get this working right?
