As you point out above, display names and comments are different. It's *not* obvious to me that they should be confounded by default. In any case, it would certainly be possible to implement both the indexing feature, so that msg['To'][0] returns a (display, mailbox) tuple, and a converter so that list(msg['to']) returns a list of such tuples (in both cases, assuming that most users prefer not to distinguish comments from display names). _______________________________________________ Email-SIG mailing list [email protected] Your options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/email-sig/archive%40mail-archive.com
