Bug Description

Real name portion in a From: header is not decoded from base64 in popups and status display frame when it is enclosed in double quotes.
Example:
From: "=?UTF-8?B?0JTQuNGB0LrRg9GB0YHQuNC+0L3QvdCw0Y8=?=" <email address hidden>

It looks like thunderbird strips quotes before decoding such header and it seems to be reasonable.

This is probably fixed by building against a newer gmime-2.4
