Done. Now The names are enclosed in double quotation marks (") as they
are in the standard e-mail way. Double quotation marks in nicknames
are turned into single quotation marks (') when displaying the names
in the message dialog, so there are no conflicts.

I don't think so. But in email clients is quite easy to realize when a
piece of text which is suposed to be an e-mail address is so or not:

[A-Za-z._-]+@[A-Za-z._-]+.[A-Za-z]+ or whatever format an e-mail
address has (I gess it is in the RFC).

In the code there's not such check. I thought of that, but would
suppose big changes in the source - such as adding QRegExp - so I
thought in that (temporal?) solution which was fast and needed no
testing.
