Bug in email.utils, parseaddr

Hi,

I tried using parseaddr of email.utils, but it gave the following
result when the name had a comma inside.
>>e = 'K,Vishal <vi****@someadd ress.biz>'
from email.utils import parseaddr
parseaddr(e )
('', 'K')

Thanks and Regards,
Roopesh

That's an invalid address. A comma "," is a special character and it
cannot happen inside an atom, it must be quoted. See section 3.4 in
RFC2822 <http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2822.html>

Hey, I have been trying to parse emails: But I could not find any examples or snippets of parsing emails in python from the documentation. Google did not help me much too. I am trying to understand the module 'email' and the functions described there to parse email but seems difficult. Can anyone help me in locating some pointers or snippets on this issue.

email.Utils.parseaddr('Real Name ((comment)) <address@example.com>') returns ('comment <address@example.com>', '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.

Hello all, I have written a short function, based on a recipe in the Python Cookbook, that sends an e-mail. The function takes arguments that define who the e-mail is to, from, the subject, the body and an optional list of attachments. The function works also perfectly, bar one slight problem. If you attempt to send an e-mail with just a body and no attachments, the receiving client still thinks that there is an attachment (so far...

I want to do email address format validations, without turning to ANTLR or pyparsing, anyone know of a regex that is COMPLIANT with RFC 821. Most of the ones I have found from google searches are not really as robust as I need them to be.
