A bit more research seems to locate the problem around line 295 in
ui/mail/manipulate.pm.  It appears to parse the From: line incorrectly.
Anything with an @ in the "Real Name" portion of the email address is going
to be parsed incorrectly.  Without knowing where else this information is
used and for what purpose, I'm hesitant to attempt a fix.  Any ideas?
