--- Comment #1 from Pierre Fortin <pf at pfortin.com> ---
Clarification:  email addresses consist of, at minimum, a "formal" delivery
address, and are often "decorated" with more meaningful strings which can cause
sorting to be mangled. What I'm looking for is to sort on only the formal part
of the email address. 

When viewing only one example as in initial request, it's easy to miss what
really happens to the sort when 1000s of messages are sorted.  The
"decorations" can cause messages from john at doe.com to be interspersed with
messages from other people...

Ouch...  just realized another "decoration" that I use extensively can also
affect the proposed sort:  john+task at doe.com   However, that's a problem for
people I send to, not me...  :)
Yet.
