It just didn't rewrite, but you've pointed me at what I did wrong...

THAT'S the problem!! My mailer writes addresses I enter as
"someone@???" (without the double quotes) like follows:

    "someone@???" <someone@???>

I'm well aware of these problems, but they're only of academic nature. I need
only handle these simplest cases like the above.

Thanks to your helpful hint I was able to get this running. My rewrite rule
now looks like this:

rabe@???     \
  "${if and {
          {def:h_To:}
          {match
             {$h_To:}
             {\\N^(\"someone@???\" )?<?someone@???>?$\\N}
          }
        } {rabe-lkt} fail
     }" fFrQ


I've broken the line to make it more readable, I hope it's still obvious how
the expression looks like.

The pattern recognizes addresses like the following:

    "someone@???" <someone@???>
    <someone@???>
    someone@???


Is this, in your eyes, the optimal way of writing this, or can you give me
additional hints about how to further improve it?

Thanks,

Ralf
