Any one special cased "Return Receipt Requested"? That is consider the comment a full name it it's not that. Never met a "Mr/Ms/Mrs Requested" and don't think "Return" is a popular first name in any language. Even if that mistake is made, it's not very serious. Pine and other mailers promote the comment to full name on a regular basis and certain mailers like Elm still put the full name in a comment.

It's a way for X.400 gateways to represent service >elements not available in RFC822. In X.400, one could specify options like >"Receipt Notification Requested" and "Reply Requested" on a per-recipient >basis. An RFC2156-compliant gateway would append these options to each >address as a comment.
