Well it's the standard format for displaying both the user's name & email address together (and part of the SMTP spec). But yeah - typically you just want the real address part.
In Gmail at least you can get what you want with some careful highlighting - but Apple Mail doesn't let you copy that portion at all. Hence this feature :)
- deweerdt 13y agoI'm going to go ahead and be pedantic: that format is not part of the SMTP spec. It's part of the Internet Message Format RFC (5322 in its latest incarnation), which describes what's in the body of the email. The SMTP spec (RFC 5321) which describes what goes on the wire between an SMTP client and an SMTP server uses addresses in a '<to@example.com>' format.
