I slightly modified &extract_email_address from mhutil.pl (v.2.5.2) with a
more rigorous regular expression check, to handle slightly misformed From
headers:
This corrected a problem I had with a malformed From header of the form:
From: Joe Schmoe" <joe(_at_)schmoe(_dot_)com
Ugh. Gotta love those MUAs. :-)
The diff is:
66c66,69
< if ($str =~ /<(\S+)>/) {
---
if ($str =~ /([\w\-\(_dot_)]+\(_at_)[\w\-\(_dot_)]+)/) {
$ret = $1;
}
elsif ($str =~ /<(\S+)>/) {
Basically, as a first check, it tries to extract a string of the form:
[alphanumeric, '_', '-', '.']+\(_at_)[alphanumeric, '_', '-', '.']+
If it doesn't find anything like that, it goes through the other checks.
