email.Utils.parseaddr('Real Name ((comment)) <[email protected]>')
returns
('comment <[email protected]>', 'Real')
Granted the string above is invalid as RFC 2822 does not allow
parentheses within comments, but most mail agents seem to at least take
the contents of the angle brackets as the address.
rfc822.parseaddr() returns the same result in this case.
If these functions aren't going to return their respective failure
indication in this case, I think they should at least return
'(e-mail address removed)' as the second item of the returned tuple.
