Please provide any additional information below.

The problem occurs when an email-address is put inside square brackets.
This is common in mail exports, like this:
From: John Doe [jdoe@live.com]
Sent: Fri 13, 1337
To: D. Evil [devil@yahoo.com]

Saw an earlier bug fix, removing preceding @ from addresses. Probably the same 
issue? It should anyhow be easy to filter out the square brackets.

I believe there's an issue in the email extraction regex: myparser.py def emails(self): self.genericClean() reg_emails = re.compile('[a-zA-Z0-9.-_]*' + '@' + '[a-zA-Z0-9.-]*' + self.word) self.temp = reg_emails.findall(self.results) emails=self.unique() return emails The regex contains [a-zA-Z0-9.-_]* - note the .-_ at the end. Shouldn't the hyphen be escaped? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9589074/regex-should-hyphens-be-escaped I tested this with your issue and it seemed to fix it [+] Emails found: ------------------ gifford@gfong.com clientservices@gfong.com steve.fong@gfong.com jessie.zhang@gfong.com gfacareers@gfong.com christine@gfong.com gifford.fong@gfong.com mohini@gfong.com rong@gfong.com gary@gfong.com rfan@gfong.com jquinn@gfong.com
