Bug in email.utils, parseaddr

[Roopesh]

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****@someaddress.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>
