Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When creating an event and adding a participant's email, Calendar does not recognize the following format as valid:
John Doe jdoe@legitcompany.org
This format usually appears when I right-click an email address from the "To" field in Thunderbird while editing an email.
I usually manually edit the address but it would be nice if it was automatically recognized as a valid email address.
Describe the solution you'd like
Nextcloud could automatically recognize the email address contained between the < > and remove the unnecessary text.

Research direction
Reproduce this in the Calendar event creation participant field with John Doe <jdoe@legitcompany.org> and trace the existing email recognition and validation entry point. Confirm how participant text is handled, then verify that the address inside angle brackets is recognized and the surrounding name is removed; the issue names no files or tests.
