Hi Reid,

There is no reason to ever strip away the "comment" part of an email
address in the context of email. If something *is* stripping it out,
prehaps it should be changed to not do so.

For email, we store both parts, the email address and the display name,
as separate attributes.  This way,

"Jeffrey Harris" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

and a later

<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

will be seen as the same email address.

We no longer consider them "the same" like this: in that example, those are two different addresses.

(We do care about the similarity in only one case nowadays: we track which addresses are "me" addresses, and any address whose address part case-insensitively matches an existing "me" address will also become a "me" address.)
