I'd kind of touched on this in an earlier message..  basically the issue is
turba and imp isn't very good at handling addressbook entries where the *email*
address looks like:

    Liam Hoekenga <liamr@example.com>

it's even more unhappy if the turba record's name field has a value assigned to
it. I did a quick little test, and...

following the email link from "browse" / search results in turba:

    Liam Hoekenga <"Liam Hoekenga <liamr"@example.com>>

following the email link from the record view in turba:

    Liam Hoekenga <liamr@example.com>

using "expand names" to translate an alias into an address in the IMP message
composition screen:

    Liam Hoekenga <"Liam Hoekenga <liamr"@example.com>>

selecting an address from the address book pop-up in the IMP message
composition screen:

    "Liam Hoekenga" <Liam Hoekenga <liamr@example.com>>

I think of the choices above, I'd go with option 2...
