:addr will strip off everything except the first "address" in the header.  ie:

header FOO From ...

will get "From: Timmy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>"

header FOO From:addr ...

will get "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Yeah it should be, but in looking at M:SA:C, I agree it doesn't seem to
be in there.  :(   ":name" is also not documented (finds the first "real
name" in the header).   I added in a section in r36207 to cover these. :)
