Markus Wiederkehr commented on MIME4J-130:
------------------------------------------

We could add methods such as Address.for(String), Group.for(String) and Mailbox.for(String) for this purpose.

> Add parse method for e-mail addresses that contain special characters in the display name

> Address.parse(), Group.parse() and Mailbox.parse() can only parse addresses in their raw (encoded) form. They are capable of decoding encoded words (RFC 2047) but they do not accept already decoded special characters.
> In other words, they can parse the result of Address.getEncodedString() but not Address.getDisplayString().
> Mime4j should have a means to parse an address such as "Hans Müller <hans.mueller@acme.com>" for generating new messages or manipulating existing ones.
