That doesn't mean it was the right thing to do.

That doesn't fix the other bug you mentioned; that we lose comments too.

Why is it necessary to attempt to recreate the contents of these fields
from the list of addresses we parsed from them, when the real original
text is still available? That's just a gratuitous loss of information.

But yes, if what you want is for us to make camel-internet-address
preserve all the information about comments and groups etc., rather than
only the information about addresses which it should do, that's fine by
me as long as it works. I think it's a very strange design choice
though, but will defer to your judgement.
