[Chandler-dev] Adding a fullname field to ModifiedByRecord

[Reid Ellis]

An email address can consist of a "comment" part and a "non-comment"  
part. e.g.:

	Reid Ellis <rae at osafoundation.org>
	rae at osafoundation.org (Reid Ellis)
	"Reid A. Ellis" <rae at osafoundation.org>

These are all valid email addresses. The third one requires quotes  
because of the '.' in the comment part. There is no reason to ever  
strip away the "comment" part of an email address in the context of  
email. If something *is* stripping it out, prehaps it should be  
changed to not do so.

If we keep the email address intact, then we should be able to  
extract the "comment" part of the email address and display it. Do we  
keep the email address intact?

Apologies for not knowing the correct name of the "comment" and "non- 
comment" parts of email addresses.
