Summary: email: huge address lines blow stack

Initial Comment:
The following code will recurse until Python throws an
exception:
"""
import email.Utils
addrlist = ["foo@bar.com"] * 2000
email.Utils.getaddresses(addrlist)
"""

I found a huge address list in my spam archive, which
is how I found the error.  Attaching suggested patch
that avoids recursion.

bugfix candidate I guess?
