    This function uses JavaMail to give you an array of InternetAddress objects. You can call getPersonal() to get the name and getAddress() to get the email address.

    <cfscript>
function getEmailInfo(emailString)
{
    var iAddressClass = "";
    iAddressClass = CreateObject("java", "javax.mail.internet.InternetAddress");
    return iAddressClass.parse(arguments.emailString,true); 
}
</cfscript>
