Class Address

Provides a complete handling library for email addresses. Can parse a string of an address directly or take in preformatted addresses themselves. Allows you to add and remove phrases from the front of the address and provides a compare function for email addresses.

Parsing and Handling a Valid Address:

Just pass the email address in as a string to Address.parse:

email = TMail::Address.parse('Mikel Lindsaar <mikel@lindsaar.net>)
#=> #<TMail::Address mikel@lindsaar.net>
email.address
#=> "mikel@lindsaar.net"
email.local
#=> "mikel"
email.domain
#=> "lindsaar.net"
email.name             # Aliased as phrase as well
#=> "Mikel Lindsaar"

Detecting an Invalid Address

If you want to check the syntactical validity of an email address, just pass it to Address.parse and catch any SyntaxError:

begin
  TMail::Mail.parse("mikel   2@@@@@ me .com")
rescue TMail::SyntaxError
  puts("Invalid Email Address Detected")
else
  puts("Address is valid")
end
#=> "Invalid Email Address Detected"
