This is a broken To: header. Broken not because it's encoded in ISO
(this is done because it contains umlauts, and is perfectly correct),
but because it contains a comma. Commas seperate address list entries,
and are not allowed in email addresses (or names).

That is correct. The fault seems to be with the client.

I guess the email client of the person who sent this mail.

If in doubt and your client is using Outlook, blame him - you'll be
right just about all of the time.

(I'm serious.)
