#initialize(string) ⇒ AddressList

Mail::AddressList is the class that parses To, From and other address fields from emails passed into Mail.

AddressList provides a way to query the groups and mailbox lists of the passed in string.

It can supply all addresses in an array, or return each address as an address object.

Mail::AddressList requires a correctly formatted group or mailbox list per RFC2822 or RFC822. It also handles all obsolete versions in those RFCs.

list = '[email protected], My Group: [email protected], Bob <[email protected]>;'
a = AddressList.new(list)
a.addresses    #=> [#<Mail::Address:14943130 Address: |[email protected]...
a.group_names  #=> ["My Group"]
