If Name starts with "<" then the mail address is partially displayed

Here https://forum.dlang.org/post/[email protected]. The user name used was <Lesser_name and the user address used was [email protected] But something strange is displayed instead of <Lesser_name there's Lesser_name <address

From: <lesser_name <[email protected]>

That doesn't look valid. The server shouldn't have accepted it.

We can fix DFeed from emitting such messages, but we can't fix others sending such malformed messages via email/NNTP..

DFeed's header parsing is really ad-hoc and needs a rewrite. I'll have to get back to this later, probably port the test messages from my Windows installation's hard drive to real unit tests first.
