5.2.1.  Examples:
      From: John Smith 
      From: "John Smith" , dave@isp.example
      From: "John D. Smith" , andrew@isp.example,
         fred@site2.example
      From: Jan Jones 
      From: Jan Jones 
      From: dave@isp.example (Dave Smith)

        NOTE: the last example shows a now deprecated convention of
        putting a poster's full name in a comment following the mailbox,
        rather than in a phrase at the start of that mailbox. Observe
        that the quotes around the "John D. Smith" example were
        required, on account of the '.' character, and they would also
        have been required had any UTF8-xtra-char been present.
