MPro doesn't bother about the real name which could also be in quotes.
It obviously treats anything containing an @-sign in the mid@dle or at 
the end@ as an email address. It can cope with angle brackets but it 
fails on other characters. For example if the email address is in 
parenthesis (like@this) it will include the close bracket with the 
address, but not the open bracket. Also if there is a full stop after 
the address, followed by white space it gets incl@uded. Note that Edit 
email shows the dot in green but does not include it in the address.

I don't want a "user experience" - I just want stuff that works.
