Accept address lists with a trailing comma

[bradvogel]

Would be nice if the trailing comma was ignored and this worked:

$ npm install email-addresses
npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/email-addresses
npm http 304 https://registry.npmjs.org/email-addresses
email-addresses@2.0.1 node_modules/email-addresses
$ node
> var email = require('email-addresses')
undefined
> email.parseAddressList('Kysen Vogel <kysen.vogel@gmail.com>,')
null

Can you tell me about the use case for this? What's the purpose and where do you get such email address lists from?

[bradvogel]

I'm gathering email addresses by querying emails from the gmail api (to populate an autocomplete dropdown in my app). I'm using email-addresses to parse the value of the 'To' header. So these strange strings are valid emails per the gmail api. Hope that helps!

I know this is an old issue but want to follow up on it.
I think what is needed here is an option to ignore invalid entries and still return the rest of the result.
i.e. addrs("valid@example.com") and addrs("valid@example.com, invalid") with that switch turned on would both return the same addresses array containing valid@example.com

Cleaning up some old issues. Can do this with the partial option. addrs({partial: true, input: "valid@example.com, invalid"})
