Yes, and it needs to be better documented on the mass subscribe page
(feel free to lodge an SF bug report so I don't forget).

Enter the addresses like so:

aperson at example.com (Anne Person)
bdude at example.com (Brian D. Ude)

etc...

Actually, any format recognized by email.Utils.parseaddr() is
acceptable:

http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/module-email.Utils.html

so

Anne Person <aperson at example.com>
"Brian D. Ude" <bdude at example.com>

Should work too.
