Indeed, though it does slightly spoil the cleanness of the unpacking 
assignment to include a dummy lvalue for the middle element.

[Thanks for the on-topic reply! I'm surprised more people haven't felt 
the need to write unpacking splits like this to be honest, but I guess 
engaging in SMTP syntax law is much more fun. Yes guys, I'm well aware 
of the capabilities of the RFC2822 addr-spec format, thanks, and no, 
it's not relevant to the particular program that example came from. 
Cheers for the concern though.]
