do not remove quotes around realname parts
when decoding headers containing email addresses;
Some MUAs (exchange) will add headers in the form:
To: "Last, First" <x@y.z>
Prior to this commit, alot would remove the quotes (apparently they
violate RFC 2047). However, this then would lead to problems where the
additional comma is interpreted as separator between several recipients.
This commit causes alot to not remove the quotes.
