No. Because there is no possibly way of knowing that [EMAIL PROTECTED] really
isn't "Johnny P. Spammer".

This one can be done on an individual basis, sometimes. It relies on you
having a standard format for the stuff in quotes. You have to allow for
friends that will put the stuff in quotes in a somewhat different form. But
it can't be done (at this time, at least) as a standard test.
