Address list with comment before address parses incorrectly if no space after comma

[HermanHiddema]

Given the following five examples:

Mail::AddressList.new("[email protected],[email protected]")
Mail::AddressList.new("(comment) [email protected],[email protected]")
Mail::AddressList.new("[email protected],(comment) [email protected]")
Mail::AddressList.new("[email protected], (comment) [email protected]")
Mail::AddressList.new("[email protected],(comment) [email protected],[email protected]")

If I run these, I get weird results on case 3 and case 5:

[1] pry(main)> require 'mail';
[2] pry(main)> Mail::AddressList.new("[email protected],[email protected]")
=> #<Mail::AddressList:0x000055ca6eb5a638
 @addresses=
  [#<Mail::Address:940 Address: |[email protected]| >,
   #<Mail::Address:960 Address: |[email protected]| >],
 @group_names=[]>
[3] pry(main)> Mail::AddressList.new("(comment) [email protected],[email protected]")
=> #<Mail::AddressList:0x000055ca6ea2e6d8
 @addresses=
  [#<Mail::Address:980 Address: |"(comment)" <[email protected]> (comment)| >,
   #<Mail::Address:1000 Address: |[email protected]| >],
 @group_names=[]>
[4] pry(main)> Mail::AddressList.new("[email protected],(comment) [email protected]")
=> #<Mail::AddressList:0x000055ca6e976970
 @addresses=[#<Mail::Address:1020 Address: |[email protected]| >],
 @group_names=[]>
[5] pry(main)> Mail::AddressList.new("[email protected], (comment) [email protected]")
=> #<Mail::AddressList:0x000055ca6e86dd08
 @addresses=
  [#<Mail::Address:1040 Address: |[email protected]| >,
   #<Mail::Address:1060 Address: |"(comment)" <[email protected]> (comment)| >],
 @group_names=[]>
[6] pry(main)> Mail::AddressList.new("[email protected],(comment) [email protected],[email protected]")
=> #<Mail::AddressList:0x000055ca6e799ee0
 @addresses=
  [#<Mail::Address:1080 Address: |[email protected]| >,
   #<Mail::Address:1100 Address: |"(comment)" <[email protected]> (comment)| >],
 @group_names=[]>

Cases 2 and 3 are identical, except that the addresses have been swapped, so I'd expect it to work.

The fact that case 4 is correct, means that the parser is sensitive to the white space behind the comma after the first address.

Case 5 really shows that the parser gets confused, it adds the comment from the second address to the third one.
