I tryied to find it in the rfc's but could not get a descent answer.
What is the right definition of an name with an address in from/to/..
fields:
"Peter Paul" <h...@mail.de>
Peter Paul<h...@mail.de>
Im currently using tmail and had some problems with the second version
only showing a part of the name. Now while using the first notation
some mails dont get delivered cause the from field cannot be read.
Which might be a problem with tmail, and which is why i want to change
using mail, if the parsers have improved.

You should quote the friendly name as part of the address spec.
Most mail handlers (mail included, tmail not) will still handle Peter Paul <h...@mail.de>... but it is prone to error.
quote it and you are safe.
