[vwnc] I think this is a bug in NetworkAddressParser

Dennis smith-4
I did a quick IMAP email client, and noticed a number
of "From's" showing as blank.

    NetworkAddressParser parse: 'John G. Smith <abc.def.com>'

returns "blank" -- no exception or anything.

Its the "." on "G." that creates the problem.  The mail clients we use
are all happy with this form.

I took a quick look, but it seems to be fundamental to how the parser
works.
