The algorithm presented could be used to redact anything in

even just their local-parts are the likely targets, the presented

is redacting local-parts but not email addresses, I have to wonder "why"...)
The flippant answer is that it keeps the lawyers happy. :-)
If the aim is to redact sensitive information, it is up to the sender
to identify the parts of the text that contain personal identifiers
and apply the algorithm. That would cover full names. The term
"personally identifiable information" is generally used. I prefer
not to get into that to avoid having to explain how to identify such
information in a message.
