    Summary: Comments in display names are incorrectly handled in net/mail

    Details: The ParseAddressList function incorrectly handles comments (text within parentheses) within display names. Since this is a misalignment with conforming address parsers, it can result in different trust decisions being made by programs using different parsers.
