And the gist of the patch to fix the bug would look like this two liner.
In the real fix, "p" should be renamed to "end_of_email" or something
descriptive like that.

I only made sure that this fixes the original case of the email address of
Shawn reported by Felipe, but other than that like everything else I send
here with "... would look like this", not tested beyond "it compiles".

But conceptually it looks correct (famous last words ;-).

Felipe, does it pass your test cases?
