address-rfc2821
Parser for RFC-821/RFC-2821/RFC-5321 (envelope) format email addresses (Mailbox and Path).
This module parses email addresses from the SMTP envelope. These are the portions immediately following the SMTP verbs MAIL FROM: and RCPT TO:. RFC-5321 email addesses look like this:
<> // null
<Postmaster>
<from@example.com>
<to@example.com>
<dot.atom.string@example.com>
<"quoted string"@example.com>
angle-brackets-optional@example.comTo parse email addresses contained in the message headers (To: From: BCC, CC), look instead at an RFC 2822/5322 parser such as address-rfc2822 or email-addresses.
Installation
npm install address-rfc2821Usage
const Address = require('address-rfc2821').Address;
const parsed = new Address('<user@example.com>');Address Object

API
- new Address (user, host)
Create a new address object for user@host
- new Address (email)
Creates a new address object by parsing the email address. Will throw an exception if the address cannot be parsed.
- address.user
Access the local part of the email address
- address.host
Access the domain part of the email address, decoded if necessary to punycode
- address.original_host
Access the domain part of the email address, unencoded and case preserved
- address.format(use_punycode=false)

deals correctly with the null sender and local names.
If use_punycode = true, uses address.host instead of address.original_host.
- address.toString()

- address.address(newval=null, use_punycode=false)
Provides the email address in 'user@host' format.
If use_punycode = true, uses address.host instead of address.original_host.
