Hi
I'm aware that the name/email parser in hypermail is still very lame. I wrote
a new one a few versions ago, but I definitely had the wrong approach and
just made another bad and buggy implementation.
I attach two files for test and comments. One is my test-parser (C source)
and the other one is a file filled with From:-lines that may appear.
I would be very interested to hear from you if you can get it to fail on a
From: line that may appear.
If you have improvements or have a better parser, feel free to submit
changes, suggestions and ideas!
The fromparse.c program outputs a few different lines. They use prefixes that
mean:
** IN: shows the header it parses right now
FOUND: if () or <> words were found
USE: explains how a particular part was found
EMAIL: the parsed email address field
COMMENT: the parsed comment (name) field
--FAILED: if you see this, the parser failed to get a comment or email!
