Subject: How to extract the email address from the From: header?
Date: Fri, 24 Oct 2014 22:00:45 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87bnp15jbm.fsf@wmi.amu.edu.pl> (raw)
Hi list,
"From" headers (or "To" ones, for that matter) are sometimes plain email
addresses and sometimes strings of the form "Real Name
<email@add.ress>". I could write a function (or maybe even a regex) to
extract the email part in the latter case, but Emacs being Emacs, I'm
pretty sure something like that already exists. Am I right?
TIA,
