I _am_ talking about the displayed format.  It would be better if
textsec supported those as well, because they are ubiquitous in
Emacs.  E.g., what if someone sends me a citation from someone else's
email, and I want to textsec-check that citation?  Chances are the
citation will not include RFC2047 encoded addresses.
