I disagree. If John wanted to put his middle initial in quotes that is
his perogative, and we have no business removing them. It's free-form
text and we should display what we were given.
In _particular_, in the case of his name appearing as
"Grahame, John" <jdg company com>
we must _not_ render that as
Grahame, John <jdg company com>
... since that rendering would be very wrong, as it means something
entirely different to the original.

Isn't this what camel_header_decode_string() does for us?
