Currently bad addresses like 'Foo Bar <foo@xxxxxxx>>' will just be sent verbatim -- that's not good; we should either error out, or sanitize them. The following patch adds extra sanitazion so the following transformations are performed: 'Foo Bar <foo@xxxxxxx>' -> 'Foo Bar <foo@xxxxxxx>' '"Foo Bar" <foo@xxxxxxx>' -> '"Foo Bar" <foo@xxxxxxx>' 'foo@xxxxxxx' -> 'foo@xxxxxxx' '<foo@xxxxxxx>' -> 'foo@xxxxxxx' 'Foo Bar' -> 'Foo Bar' 'Foo Bar <foo@xxxxxxx>>' -> 'Foo Bar <foo@xxxxxxx>' '"Foo Bar" <foo@xxxxxxx>>' -> '"Foo Bar" <foo@xxxxxxx>' '<foo@xxxxxxx>>' -> 'foo@xxxxxxx' Basically, we try to check that the address is in the form of "Name <email>", and if not, assume it's "email". According to commit 155197e[1], the "prhase" should not be empty, so if it is, remove the <>. Extra characters after the first ">" are ignored.
