Turba 2.0.x, 2.1.x allow email addresses to be formatted like so...

     Joe User <juser at example.edu>

where the email address proper is enclosed in angle brackets, and the
recipient's name is specified too.  Turba 2.2 disallows this formatting
when creating entries, but some of the import methods will allow you to
import entries with addresses in that format.

IMP 4.2's address expansion code expands such entries thusly..

    Joe  User <"Joe User <juser"@example.edu>>

The address expansion code should probably ignore everything outside of
(and including) the angle brackets.
