Summary: email.Utils.parseaddr() gives arcane result
Initial Comment:
email.Utils.parseaddr('Real Name ((comment))
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>')
returns
('comment <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>', 'Real')
Granted the string above is invalid as RFC 2822 does
not allow parentheses within comments, but most mail
agents seem to at least take the contents of the angle
brackets as the address in this case.
rfc822.parseaddr() returns the same result in this case.
If these functions aren't going to return their
respective failure indication in this case, I think
they should at least return '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' as
the second item of the returned tuple.
Note that
parseaddr('Real Name <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ((comment))')
does return
('Real Name', '[EMAIL PROTECTED]')
as 'expected'.
