It could probably be handled more elegantly, but IIUC
"dr ebs (\\_O<) <dre@foo.net>"
isn't valid in an email header, because the () are special characters
that should be quoted in the display name, per RFC5322.
Ie this works:
(mail-header-parse-address "\"dr ebs (\\_O<)\" <dre@foo.net>")
A nice summary at
