If you want to keep as much as possible, then you use a transport_filter
on the local delivery transport. You could then use Perl to adjust as
needed; eg:
----------------------------8< cut here >8------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;

my %convs = map {$_=>1} ('from', 'to', 'cc', 'resent-from', 'resent-to', 'resent-cc');
my $addr_header = 0;

while (<>) {
    last if /^$/;
    if (/^(\S+)\s*:/) {
        $addr_header = exists $convs{lc $1};
    }
    unless ($addr_header) { print; next; }
    s/"'([^']+)'"/"$1"/g;
    print;
}
print "\n";
while (<>) {
    print;
}
----------------------------8< cut here >8------------------------------


If you want to avoid the external invocations then it's more
problematic; I can't think of a way yet. If you wanted to just get rid
of the display names then you could use a value like:

${substr_4:${reduce {${addresses:$h_cc:}}{""}{$value, $item}}}

in a System Filter of
----------------------------8< cut here >8------------------------------
# Exim filter

headers add "X-Local-CC: ${substr_4:${reduce {${addresses:$h_cc:}}{""}{$value, $item}}}"
headers remove "Cc:"
headers add "Cc: $h_x_local_cc:"
headers remove "X-Local-CC"
----------------------------8< cut here >8------------------------------

and repeat that CC: stuff for To:, From:, Resent-{To,From,CC}:, etc etc.
That also works for comments in addresses.

But I don't know of a way to take an email header and turn it into a
list of items which includes the display nams and comments in each item.
