Missing names in reply caused by different Encodings

When i receive email with many recipients, only one name is displayed in reply form. It seems to be caused by Names with special characters such as ć in Barišić.
Additional testing revealed that this was caused by a long recipient list with many addresses that were encoded with iso-8859-2; the Address string is decoded in one operation rather than each name by its own, this leads to the problem. The fixed version will try to decode each address individually.
Created an attachment (id=7900) [details] 0.9.5.3 prerelease 31 This version fixed the issue for at least one user. All ADdresses are decoded individually from now on which should lead to generally better results with emails that have lots of recipients (Recipients may use different encodings in their Email clients).
Another user who reported the same problem (only first name in CC list was output by the %cc% variable) said that prerelease 31 resolved the issue. Therefore, marking this as fixed.

Not sure, if really solved. Lets say, name is Jürgen Spaß, so juergen.spass@xxx.xxx would be the email address. In this case, following <td>%to(name,link)%</td> expands to <a href="mailto:J%FCrgen" spass="" (juergen.spass@xxx.xxx)="">juergen.spass@xxx.xxx</a> I used 0.9.5.3 prerelease 31 for this test.
