That is a dangerous and incorrect assumption. E-mail addresses are wonderfully
complex, simple e-mail addresses don't have spaces correct, but in a non-controllable
environment this can be problematic. If the OP is trying to parse all e-mail
addresses from a line of text I would suggest having a look at the source code for one
of the message parsing modules. Specifically look at the 'From', 'To', or 'CC' header
parsers. If the e-mail addresses are guaranteed to be simple and controllable then
lesser measures are acceptable, my point is more as an archiving measure for the
thread and to prevent the assumption that never will an e-mail address in any context
not contain white space.
