Subj : Quote indicators

In the conversion of a BBS network to support NNTP access, it
appears that the sender's name appears in a couple of different
patterns such as:

"Joe.Green" <joegreen@wherever.com>
"Joe Green" <joe@myother.com>

In these cases, Multimail uses the " and < as initials,
which makes a quote look sorta strange:  "<> or "G<>

Is there any way to make Multimail ignore the initial quote
and parse the name a bit better?  When I talked to Jim Smith
about this in Speed, he was able to make it consider the period
as a name separator and successfully identify Joe.Green to JG>

Thanks!
