Morning List,

Lately I'm getting a bunch of emails that are showing up with two
email addresses in the From: field.

From: "Persons Name <lo...@address.nz>" <s...@address.com>

When you look in your mail client (Outlook, Thunderbird) it's showing
only "Persons Name <lo...@address.nz>"

Is there a way I can mark From: that has 2 email addresses in it as
spam? Pro's Cons?

Phil

From: =~ /^.*?<.+?\@.+?>.*?<.+\@.+?>/g

Can't imagine the circumstance where such a from: format would be required

I've seen it used as a perfectly reasonable workaround for the misfeature described above of many MUAs of hiding the address field in To/From/CC headers. Because many people actually want to know what the actual address is.
