The problem of m-e-a-c is not only for the name order.  Here's
an example:

(gnus-extract-address-components "王ヶ頭ホテル <address@hidden>")
 => ("王. ヶ. 頭. ホテル" "address@hidden")

That conversion is completely nonsense because "王ヶ頭ホテル" is
a proper noun.  So, I put the following line in my .emacs file:

(eval-after-load "mail-extr" '(defalias 'mail-extr-voodoo 'ignore))

I haven't checked it thoroughly whether it may cause another
problem, though.
