Actually, I'm wrong: it doesn't return *any* of the comment text, so if your name is in the comment part of the address instead of, er, the name part, then rfc822.el won't return it. I recall spending some time scratching my head over this before writing the wrapper code which effectively uses rfc822 to split out multiple addresses and then uses mail-extr to get the details from those addresses. A horrible kludge, but it does actually work. Cheers, Waider. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] / Yes, it /is/ very personal of me. "I can configure firewalls but I can't configure routers.
