It seems you are referring to RFC 1036 section 2.1.1.  However, RFC 1036
is obsoleted by RFC 5536 and 5537, and RFC 5536 section 3.1.2 specifies:

| The From header field is the same as that specified in Section 3.6.2
| of [RFC5322], with the added restrictions detailed above in
| Section 2.2.

I have not been able to find any restriction on ASCII characters,
besides that non ASCII characters have to be encoded, what they have
been in the OP.

However, if you post to Usenet, you should be aware that the default
Content-Type is

  Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

So if you are using non ASCII characters, you should configure your
newsreader to add an appropriate Content-Type header field.

Well, the name has been already given in the "addressline"--there is no
*need* to duplicate it.
