Hmm, tests?

By the way, that second form parses like this:

	mailbox =
        name-addr =
        display-name angle-addr = "User Name (me) <user@host>"

        display-name =
        phrase = "User Name"
        
        angle-addr = CFWS "<" addr-spec ">" = "(me) <user@host>"

So strictly speaking, shouldn't we be stripping the whole (me) as garbage?
It is not even part of the display-name but is a whitespace equivalent
comment.
