OK, but that exact line is used in several examples online to get the email address.

And it doesn't explain why "if address :matches ["To", "Cc"] ["*@*."] {" also failed to match despite also showing the email address.

And I am not asking for :detail, nor am I trying to the the address extension/plus address.

It should not because I am not asking for the detail, I am only asking for :matches "*"
