• Well it looks like Lowell beat me to the punch on this one. I rolled my own version, which also uses the DelimitedSplit8K function. 😉

    ;with cte as

    (

    select 1 as ListID, 'John Doe1 <John.Doe1@abc.com>; Mary Doe1 <Mary.Doe1@abc.com>' as ToList union all

    select 2, 'John Doe3 <John.Doe3@abc.com>; Mary Doe1 <Mary.Doe2@abc.org>Some longer name <LongEmailAddressHere@LongDomainName.com>;Short <e@e.e>' union all

    select 3, 'Lowell Mumble Mumble <Lowell@somedomain.com>'

    )

    , Parse1 as

    (

    select *

    from cte

    cross apply dbo.DelimitedSplit8K(ToList, '<')

    )

    , Parse2 as

    (

    select p1.ListID, s.Item from parse1 p1

    cross apply dbo.DelimitedSplit8K(Item, '>') s

    where charindex('@', s.Item) > 0

    )

    select ListID,

    Stuff((select ';' + Item from Parse2 p2 where p2.ListID = p1.ListID FOR XML PATH('')), 1, 1, ' ')

    from Parse2 p1

    group by ListID
