What I meant is, that it has to be represented as quoted in the edit fields. At which stage before it gets quoted is another question. The point is, that quoted representation can easily be displayed, read and edited by the user but a quoted-printable or even base64 can't.
I'd be happy to get rid of the whole encoding/quoting until immediately before sending. Do you think it's safe if we'd just handle everything until the angled address as the display name? That would also solve the current problem with the first example—but I fear there will be a pitfall somewhere.
