Incorrect parsing of email addresses (MIME with quotes)

The notmuch email frontend have a problem parsing email headers.
The problem is headers like this

  From: "=?iso-8859-1?q?=D8yvind_Normann?=" <oyvind.norman at uio.no>

which my mailbox got a lot of.  The frontend show the address as 

  =?iso-8859-1?q?=D8yvind_Normann?=

instead of

  Øyvind Normann

The problem is the quotes around the MIME encoded string.  Mutt and
Gnus handle these headers properly, but notmuch do not.

Any hope of having this fixed in a future version of ntomuch?
