However, you are correct that the only time a email address really
needs to be valid is the moment before a send. We could refactor
so that right before
calling the mail service to send the item the detail view checks
validity via the EmailAddress.isValidEmailAddress on each string
token in the 'to' field (cc? bcc?).
I don't think the detail view can know: your SMTP server might
accept "bkirsch" by itself; all the detail view could really do is
check for gross structural errors (odd numbers of doublequotes,
etc.), and since the SMTP server's gonna do that anyway, why bother?
One reason to bother about basic parsing (like quotes) is that we
need to know where one email address ends, and another begins. e.g.
"Edward Affluent, the Third" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> is an email address, not
two email addresses. This is used in the "+N" code to show the number
of non-displayed addresses.
