It was my intention to see email address blocks allow something like:
[[EMAIL PROTECTED] "Carl Sassenrath"]
So you could use real names in email. Also:
[[EMAIL PROTECTED] "Bobby" [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Suzy"]
And,
[[EMAIL PROTECTED] "Bobby" [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Suzy" friends [[EMAIL PROTECTED] "Freddy"]]
(which shows the use of a group, "friends: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>"
Dealing with incoming names is a little tricky because a lot of
emailers put names in comments (parens). Sometimes its before the
address, sometimes after.
If one of you want to take a crack at adding it, I'd be happy to
look it over and put it in. You may not be able to get 100% of the
names, because some people put invalid chars within names...
