My whole Mail::Message::Field::Full set of modules is meant to have full
understading of the valid content of fields.  The most complicated set
of fields (the once which contain e-mail addresses) are currently the
only fields which are full implemented.  But that was hundreds of lines
of Perl.... so: no, it is not easy to do.

my $from = $msg->study('from');
my @addr = defined $from ? $from->addresses : ();

Development of Mail::Box has slowed-down due to lack of funding: I have
to do other jobs to earn my living.  Happily, the marked for Perl
programmers is not that good, so I may be able to find some days
without too much on my hands ;-)
