I think the issue is with "." not ","

This may have been my fault, as I cut and pasted Rafael's email from
the git log, and did not add the quotes myself.

Perhaps claws should force names with '.' to be quoted. I don't
remember having this issue with Evolution (I switched to claws a couple
of months ago).

The first time it was from the address book, as when I added it from an
email, claws stripped out the quotes when it added it. This time it was
just me cut and pasting a name with a '.' without adding quotes myself.
