Thank you Werner. I think the strtok() makes some sense when searching against the personal field (to allow for missing middle names or initials etc). But I can't think of any reason why this would be desirable for matching against the email address.
Since I've just released 2.1, I think now is a good time to try somewhat risky changes. I'm going to change it to directly add the email address to the hints list.
