Thanks for writing back.  The problem occurs when the email address that  
is found has a comma in the name and the name is not quoted, e.g.   Doe,  
John <john doe test com>.   Perhaps geary could automatically quote such  
names or remove commas to save manual editing.

Good.  I hope that is added as outlined there.  Thanks for considering all  
this.
