+When processing mails it is sometimes useful to extract the actual
+mail address (the ``addr-spec'') from a string.  GPGME provides this
+helper function which uses the same semantics as the internal
+functions in GPGME and GnuPG:
+
+@deftypefun @w{char *} gpgme_addrspec_from_uid (@w{const char *@var{uid}})
+
+Return the mail address (called ``addr-spec'' in RFC-5322) from the
+string @var{uid} which is assumed to be a user id (called ``address''
+in RFC-5322).  All plain ASCII characters (i.e. those with bit 7
+cleared) in the result are converted to lowercase.  Caller must free
+the result using @code{gpgme_free}.  Returns @code{NULL} if no valid
+address was found (in which case @code{ERRNO} is set to @code{EINVAL})
+or for other errors.
