Documentation
Parse STRING and return a MAILBOX / DISPLAY-NAME pair.
STRING here is supposed to be an RFC822(bis) mail address, and will commonly look like, for instance:
"=?utf-8?Q?Andr=C3=A9?= <andre@example.com>"
If you have an already-decoded address, like
"André <andre@example.com>"
this function can't be used to parse that. Instead, use
mail-header-parse-address-lax to make a guess at what's the
name and what's the address.
If DECODE, the DISPLAY-NAME will have RFC2047 decoding performed
(that's the "=?utf...q...=?") stuff.
