You mean, if we see all three:

f...@example.com
Name One <f...@example.com>
Name Two <f...@example.com>

Ah yes, in that case it might be someone who has changed their name,
so we shouldn't do *any* automatic combining at all. Exactly the same
as if we just see:

Name One <f...@example.com>
Name Two <f...@example.com>

So I see this as pretty conservative.
