Gunther,

The full parse for email messages is relatively complex, eg, see 
http://www.zvon.org/tmRFC/RFC2822/Output/chapter3.html#FWS or
http://www.zvon.org/tmRFC/RFC2822/Output/chapter3.html#address

I have done the sections of RFC2822 needed for SMTP commands and address 
headers (ie, the above rules on down) using MEPS (a parsing tool).

It is not in release form but I could put something together if there is 
interest in it.
