But what is the added benefit of 
"me@foo.com" <me@foo.com>
over 
me@foo.com
? This is essentially a nonsense name that can just as well be left
out...

If you don't use a mouse, how does the existence of tooltips annoy you?

But what is the point of having "me@foo.com" <me@foo.com> in your
address book, can't you just as well say "me@foo.com" without loosing
information?

Anyway, I don't care strongly either way. I have just gotten very
careful in adding new preferences rather than setting sensible defaults
:).
