[mew-int 2740] Display name is stripped off in replies

When I answer an email, the display name is stripped off.

Suppose I receive the following message:

  Subject: I am not a number
  From: John Doe <[email protected]>

If I answer it by pressing "a" in the header view, then a new draft is
created that looks like this:

  To: [email protected]
  Subject: Re: I am not a number

I would prefer that the new draft looks like this instead:

  To: John Doe <[email protected]>
  Subject: Re: I am not a number

Can someone suggest a way to achieve this?

There may be reasons to strip off the display name in certain
circumstances, but in general I want it retained when sending email.

For example, I would also like it remembered when Mew learns an address and
places it in the ~/Mail/.mew-alias file.

Thanks for your help.

PS: As background, here is the sequence of operations that cause loss of
the display name:

The "a" keystroke invokes mew-summary-reply.
mew-summary-reply calls
  mew-to-cc-newsgroups, which calls
    mew-header-parse-address-list, which calls
      mew-addrstr-parse-syntax-list, which calls 
        mew-addrstr-parse-syntax-list1, which strips off the display name.
