No,
From: <sebastien.crig...@amvs.fr> (Sébastien Crignon)
would also be permissible (properly encoded, of course), and even
From: < sebastien (Sébastien) . crignon (Crignon) @ amvs . fr >
(although I think the latter is deprecated).
And also, there can be more than one address in a From header.
To properly extract email addresses from a header, use
email.utils.getaddresses(). You don't have to decode the header first.
The MIME-encoding is supposed to not interfere with parsing headers for
machine-readable information like addresses or message ids.
