RemarksAn InternetAddress can be any type of address defined by the original Internet Message specification.
There are effectively two (2) types of addresses: mailboxes and groups.
Mailbox addresses are what are most commonly known as email addresses and are represented by the MailboxAddress class.
Group addresses are themselves lists of addresses and are represented by the GroupAddress class. While rare, it is still important to handle these types of addresses. They typically only contain mailbox addresses, but may also contain other group addresses.
