Francesco is right, this should work. ~f a@b will match a@b whether it's
the actual address or inside the "name" portion.
Here's an example from my mailbox:
From: "First Last em...@example.net [ListName]"
<listname-nore...@yahoogroups.com>
Sender: <listn...@yahoogroups.com>
So ~e em...@example.net won't work because Sender: does not have your
target pattern, but ~f em...@example.net should. If it does not there's
something else wrong.
Your example is a valid RFC From: line, by the way. All the goofy stuff
is inside double quotes, and the proper email address is inside angle
brackets. It's annoying, and it breaks crypto, but strictly in terms of
address format it's legit.
