Hi, all.  I encountered a very disturbing bug in my mail configuration
yesterday.  I'm pretty sure the problem is in notmuch-emacs.  I am
looking for help in debugging and fixing the issue.

Yesterday I sent an email with the following To: header as composed in
notmuch-emacs (individual strings have been changed but all punctuation
and spacing is preserved):

  To: John Doe <johndoe@example.com>, "Smith, Bob" <bsmith@example.edu>

What you see above is what the header looked like in the notmuch emacs
"Message[Notmuch]" compose buffer, and is how it is displayed when I
view the sent message in a notmuch-show buffer.  The addresses were
filled in with the notmuch-address company auto completion.

However, if I view the raw text of the sent message, the To: header
looks like this:

  To: John Doe <johndoe@example.com>, Smith, Bob <bsmith@example.edu>

Notice the lack of quotes around the second name.

The outgoing mail was then sent by my local postfix to the following
*THREE* addresses:

Smith@caltech.edu
bsmith@example.edu
johndoe@example.com

Note the first address was NOT in the original recipient list at all,
and was completely constructed, probably by postfix, since it appended
the "@caltech.edu" which is configured as the "myhostname" in my postfix
configuration?  I don't know.  In any event, there was an actual person
on the other side of that address and they received what was intended to
be a private email.

Obviously the issue is related to the quoting of the second name in the
To:.  Something in notmuch-emacs is not parsing the quotes correctly.
Does anyone know where the problem is coming from?  Obviously this is
quite a serious issue, so I would like to help get it resolved ASAP.
Thanks.

jamie.
