In this case, everything will be fine, because the address will be
returned by ${addresses:...}

But there will be problems with such header:

From: postmaster@??? <charles@???>
(<confuse@???>)

Regex is only a workaround. It is needed only because ${address:...} and
${addresses:...} cannot always extract the addresses from the headers.
