Local part of a mailbox is a non-empty list of word elements. You can construct local-part like this:
let local = Local.(v [ w "romain"; w "calascibetta" ]) ;;
val local : local = [ `Atom "romain"; `Atom "calascibetta" ]Spaces and control characters are allowed in the local-part:
let local = Local.(v [ w "Romain Calascibetta"; w "to+mrmime" ]) ;;
val local : local = [ `String "Romain Calascibetta"; `Atom "to+mrmime" ]
Local.to_string local ;;
- : string = "\"Romain Calascibetta\".to+mrmime"NOTE: + permits your MUA to tag e-mails received with this local-part.
Valid UTF-8 string is allowed according RFC 6532 - and will be surrounded by double-quote.

val make : 'a local -> (Emile.local, [> Rresult.R.msg ]) resultmake l returns a local only if l is a non-empty list.
val of_list : string list -> (Emile.local, [> Rresult.R.msg ]) resultof_list l returns a local-part from a non-empty list of well-formed words. Otherwise, it returns an error.
