            Bug ID: 5097
           Summary: 'hg email' does not parse e-mail addresses correctly
                    if you use name <email> syntax
           Product: Mercurial
           Version: 3.6.3
          Hardware: Macintosh
                OS: Mac OS
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: bug
          Priority: wish
         Component: patchbomb
          Assignee: bugzilla at selenic.com
          Reporter: simonfar at fb.com
                CC: mercurial-devel at selenic.com

When I send a patch using 'hg email' and the mailing list address
copy-and-pasted into my terminal from my mailer, people see two copies of the
patch:

: /data/users/simonfar/hg (hg) [no-help-crash-test]
: simonfar at devvm631 tests $ hg email -r 9cc387 --flag V2
this patch series consists of 1 patches.

To: mercurial-devel at mercurial-scm.org <mercurial-devel at mercurial-scm.org>
Cc:

sending [PATCH V2] tests: confirm that a badly documented extension doesn't
cause a crash ...

: /data/users/simonfar/hg (hg) [no-help-crash-test]
: simonfar at devvm631 tests $ hg --version

I suspect that patchbomb isn't parsing the "name <email>" syntax correctly, and
thus turns "mercurial-devel at mercurial-scm.org
<mercurial-devel at mercurial-scm.org>" into two e-mail addresses, when it should
parse it as a name/comment and a single e-mail address.
