[QUESTION] Suggestion allow to validate recipients with names

[Pablo Vizcay]

Hey! First of all thanks for truemail, I'm looking forward to implement it with a few of our apps.

I was wondering, why Name <email> format is not supported out of the box?

Thanks!

Hola, Pablo! 😃 Current Truemail implementation is about validation/verification of addr-spec specifed in RFC 5322, sec. 3.4.1. While you suggest to validate angle-addr, described in RFC 5322, sec. 3.4. Also it's not a library's responsobility to validate recipient's name. However, thanks for your suggestion! 🍺

P.S.: is it a valid implementation example of your idea?

require 'truemail'

module AngleAddrValidator
  ANGLE_ADDR_PATTERN = /(.+) <(.+)>/.freeze

  def self.valid?(angle_addr)
    ANGLE_ADDR_PATTERN.match?(angle_addr) && Truemail.valid?(angle_addr[ANGLE_ADDR_PATTERN, 2])
  end
end

AngleAddrValidator.valid?('Name <[e-mail]>')
=> true

AngleAddrValidator.valid?('<[e-mail]>')
=> false

AngleAddrValidator.valid?('Name <[e-mail]>')
=> false
