Yes, that's a very confusing and not very useful function. I've now
updated the doc string to point to `mail-header-parse-address', which is
the function that should be used to parse address headers, and does the
right thing also on German addresses.
I don't think it's worth trying to fix the mess that is
`mail-extract-address-components'.
