In my opinion, it is a simple job in three steps:
1. String contains a '@' character    RESULT  TRUE OR FALSE
2. IF TRUE : From the position of the '@' go back until you find a
   whitespace character OR a '<' character. Now the pointer to the
   whitespace character or the '<' +1 is the start of the string that
   holds the email address.
3. From the position of the '@' character proceed until you either find
   another whitespace character or a '>' character. In C you might put
   a binary 0 here to mark the end of the string.

Per definition it is either enclosed by '<' and '>' or by whitespace,
isn't it ?
