Double-click or hit space when it's selected brings you into edit mode.

Use the keyboard or the mouse to select 1 or more recipients and then 
use copy/paste or drag'n'drop.

MailMate cannot do this automatically. It's extremely hard (impossible?) 
to correctly identify the various parts of a “name”. Also, you have 
to assume that if your correspondent uses this format then it's probably 
what they prefer to see when they get a reply.

MailMate could display the names differently (without altering them when 
replying/forwarding), but I really mean it when I write that it's 
extremely hard to do this reliably :) As as simple example, someone 
might use this: "PhD Nielsen, Benny" and it would become "Benny PhD 
Nielsen".
