[Corpora-List] mailing address parser

[Diana Maynard]

Hi Nate
GATE (downloadable from http://gate.ac.uk) can do the job, although 
you'd probably need to rewrite a few of the rules as the address 
recognition has been trained primarily for UK addresses (I suspect that 
at least one person out there has already written such rules for GATE 
for US addresses, however - a query to the GATE mailing list might be of 
help there).
Regards
Diana
