Sometimes an address will not have a display name, but might have the name as a comment field after the address. This returns that name if it exists.

Mail::Address handles all email addresses in Mail. It takes an email address string and parses it, breaking it down into it’s component parts and allowing you to get the address, comments, display name, name, local part, domain part and fully formatted address.
Mail::Address requires a correctly formatted email address per RFC2822 or RFC822. It handles all obsolete versions including obsolete domain routing on the local part.
a = Address.new('Mikel Lindsaar (My email address) <mikel@test.lindsaar.net>') a.format #=> 'Mikel Lindsaar <mikel@test.lindsaar.net> (My email address)' a.address #=> 'mikel@test.lindsaar.net' a.display_name #=> 'Mikel Lindsaar' a.local #=> 'mikel' a.domain #=> 'test.lindsaar.net' a.comments #=> ['My email address'] a.to_s #=> 'Mikel Lindsaar <mikel@test.lindsaar.net> (My email address)'
