Mail::AddressList can not parse |my test email|

I am on ruby 2.0.0p451

Not able to parse and return false when passed an invalid email address.
This is a test case I added in spec/mail/parsers/address_lists_parser_spec.rb and ran
it "should parse an address" do
text = 'ddfafo asd'
a = Mail::Parsers::AddressListsParser.new
expect(a.parse(text)).not_to be_nil
end

And I get this error:
Mail::Field::ParseError:
Mail::AddressList can not parse |my test email|

Start with spec/mail/parsers/address_lists_parser_spec.rb and the Mail::Parsers::AddressListsParser entry point. Reproduce the parsing case and compare the issue's stated expectation of returning false with the shown ParseError and differing input. Done should be a clear, agreed behavior captured by a focused spec.
