Description
The From header is missing double quotes in some cases. See https://github.com/k9mail/k-9/issues/4064#issuecomment-495324315 for a detailed explanation and https://lists.apache.org/api/source.lua/6e04ab58b0323afabc240255bd3420adf38c9e9bc7bf988947a61f23@%3Cdev.cxf.apache.org%3E for a sample email.

Research direction
Start with the detailed explanation in the linked K-9 issue comment and compare it with the linked sample email. Locate the Pony Mail code that generates the From header, then verify the affected cases against RFC 5322 and the sample; done means the required double quotes are present without changing unaffected headers.
