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...

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.
