Hi,

Thank you Jeff san.

It seems to be able to work fine in IMAP, without FTS.
But I hope FTS to find addresses.

And I reported this to the developers of email solutions which adding
such MIMEd display name. But for older mails or another email softwares,
I hope this problems to be solved in Dovecot with FTS.

Thank you.
