Yup. Or use the RAWP parameter to `mail-header-parse-addresses' and
then parse with `mail-header-parse-address' with a DECODE parameter.

No, that'll always be less reliable, because the -lax version uses
heuristics. This makes a difference when the address is something weird
like the name part containing an @ character (like
"=?utf-8?Q?=40ndr=C3=A9?= <andre@example.com>" decoded to, "@ndré
<andre@example.com>" which is valid and appears in the wild).
