Note that a full regular expression that tries to match all possible
forms of an RFC 2822 address (and doesn't quite do the whole job) is
over 5000 characters long. There are so many variations. Even to handle
the relatively common (used to be)
From: <marc@???> (Marc Perkel)
as well as the other form is going to be tricky. But you may be able to
handle enough simple to do what you need.
