Hi,
I hope this is fixed in Emacs 22.2 (or possibly 22.1). I've been
annoyed that `mail-extract-address-component' sometimes fails to
parse addresses containing non-ASCII names correctly. Japanese
people often use their native names in the From header. Since
they sometimes use non-ASCII letters which are not specified as
words in the syntax table, Gnus, for example, fails to build the
recipient address when replying. Here are examples:
(mail-extract-address-components "阿部 晋三 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>")
=> ("阿部 晋三 <Shinzo Abe" "阿部 晋三 <[EMAIL PROTECTED] ")
(mail-extract-address-components "阿部 晋三 ◆ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>")
=> ("阿部 晋三 ◆ <Shinzo Abe" "阿部 晋三 ◆ <[EMAIL PROTECTED] ")
(mail-extract-address-components
"阿部 晋三 (しんちゃん) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>")
=> ("阿部 晋三 (しんちゃん" "[EMAIL PROTECTED]")
The causes are " " (wide space) and "◆" in the name portion
and `m-e-a-c' uses `forward-word' to try to skip them even if
they are not words. I tried fixing of this problem as follows:
(NOTE: it contains Latin-1 nbsp characters encoded with utf-8.)

(or (eq char ?\()
;; At the end of first address of a multiple address header.
(and (eq char ?,)
I appreciate someone looking into it.
