In my experience, whenever some wide-spread email client enforces some 
“feature” then its users will eventually expect any email client to 
behave the same way. A lot of my feedback is of the nature: “I'm used 
to my email client doing X, why doesn't MailMate do the same?” :-)

In any case, thinking about this some more I'm convinced that my 
position on this subject is that MailMate should never change the name 
ordering in outgoing messages. Whatever is received is also what should 
go out. If a correspondent dislikes the ordering then they should fix it 
at their end.

But this doesn't rule out that MailMate re-orders names when displaying 
emails such that MailMate users (almost) never have to see the 
last-comma-first format if they don't want to. I'll think about how this 
could be supported in a simpler way than what I previously described.

It's a simple attempt to make email spoofing a bit less likely to 
succeed (it's far from perfect). Read about it
