Thanks, thi already told me this privately and I decided then that
this does not help. The problem to get the "Tony Nelson
<tnelson@conceptech.com>" is not hard since the number of characters
from the left marging is 31 (i.e. (forward-char 31)). The problem is
to get "Tony Nelson", "(optional comment)" and
"tnelson@conceptech.com".

I have found a way of doing this with regexps so the problem is
solved, but if --with-colons had put colons between the wanted parts
too, I would use it.

I mostly asked in the eventuallity there existed some good way to
produce a parse-friendly list (like --with-colons which I did not know
about before-hand - forgot to RTFM).

I have a working solution, I was hoping there where a easier way.

Thanks anyway.
