[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 <jd1234 at example.com>
If I answer it by pressing "a" in the header view, then a new draft is
created that looks like this:
To: jd1234 at example.com
Subject: Re: I am not a number
I would prefer that the new draft looks like this instead:
To: John Doe <jd1234 at example.com>
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.
