Description:
------------
When an email address such as '"John Doe\\"
<text@example.com>' is passed to RFC822 to be validated
_hasUnclosedQuotes() is detecting the '\"' at the end of the
string and presumes that the quote has been escaped.

Because it only finds a single opening quote it presumes that
the string has unclosed quotes and thinks that the email
address is invalid.

Test script:
---------------
<?php

require_once("Mail/RFC822.php");
require_once("PEAR.php");

$addresses = array(
array('name' => 'John Doe', 'email' => 'test@example.com'),
array('name' => 'John Doe\\', 'email' => 'test@example.com')
);

for($i = 0; $i < count($addresses); $i++) {
// construct the address
$address = "\"".addslashes($addresses[$i]['name'])."\" ".
"<".$addresses[$i]['email'].">";

$parsedAddresses = Mail_RFC822::parseAddressList($address);

if(PEAR::isError($parsedAddresses)) {
echo $address." :: Failed to validate\n";
}
else {
echo $address." :: Parsed\n";
}
}

?>

Expected result:
----------------
"John Doe" <test@example.com> :: Parsed
"John Doe\\" <test@example.com> :: Parsed

Actual result:
--------------
"John Doe" <test@example.com> :: Parsed
"John Doe\\" <test@example.com> :: Failed to validate
