I have noticed  a problem with address  matching : if the address  is in the
form someone <someone@somewhere>, the single name is void by design.
I have found the following in mail-extr.el :
,----
|         ;; Nuke name if it is the same as mailbox name.
|         (let ((buffer-length (- (point-max) (point-min)))
|               (i 0)
|               (names-match-flag t))
|           (when (and (> buffer-length 0)
|                      (eq buffer-length (- mbox-end mbox-beg)))
|             (goto-char (point-max))
|             (insert-buffer-substring canonicalization-buffer
|                                      mbox-beg mbox-end)
|             (while (and names-match-flag
|                         (< i buffer-length))
|               (or (eq (downcase (char-after (+ i (point-min))))
|                       (downcase
|                        (char-after (+ i buffer-length (point-min)))))
|                   (setq names-match-flag nil))
|               (setq i (1+ i)))
|             (delete-region (+ (point-min) buffer-length) (point-max))
|             (if names-match-flag
|                 (narrow-to-region (point) (point)))))
| 
|         ;; Nuke name if it's just one word.
|         (goto-char (point-min))
|         (and mail-extr-ignore-single-names
|              (not (re-search-forward "[- ]" nil t))
|              (narrow-to-region (point) (point)))
|

As  i  can  see  :  the  ignore  single  name  can  be  inhibited  with  the
mail-extr-ignore-single-names, but there is no  mean for the real name equal
to mailbox name...

Maybe would  it be worth to define  a new custom variable  for that setting,
but i am not  sure of myself to make some proper code.  I suppose i can copy
on the mail-extr-ignore-single-names model ?
