  Besides the deal with the pointy brackets, there's also this
  other setup with round ones, like in

sebastien.crignon@amvs.fr (Sébastien Crignon)

  . The standard library has:

email.utils.parseaddr(address)

Parse address – which should be the value of some
address-containing field such as To or Cc - into its
constituent realname and email address parts. Returns a tuple
of that information, unless the parse fails, in which case a
2-tuple of ('', '') is returned.
