The address expansion code should probably ignore everything outside of (and including) the angle brackets. Calling this one Not A Bug since we shouldn't have any email address fields formatted that way... See ~~Ticket: 6725~~

Turba 2.0.x, 2.1.x allow email addresses to be formatted like so... Joe User <juser@example.edu> where the email address proper is enclosed in angle brackets, and the recipient's name is specified too. Turba 2.2 disallows this formatting when creating entries, but some of the import methods will allow you to import entries with addresses in that format. IMP 4.2's address expansion code expands such entries thusly.. Joe User <"Joe User <juser"@example.edu>> The address expansion code should probably ignore everything outside of (and including) the angle brackets.
