That is not a valid email address.

No, that function parses well-formed email addresses, as defined by the
standards.  It does not do any kind of DWIM or guesswork, and it
shouldn't.

(textsec-email-suspicious-p "דגבאa <foo <at> bar.com>")

shouldn't bug out, though -- it should instead say that the string is
suspicious because it's not well-formed as an email address.
