But what got me was both of them sent their addresses by e-mail in this
format:-

joe bloggs 15 smith street bloggsvillage east bloggsville ab1 cd2

which means I can't just cut and paste onto the envelope.

And would that be bloggsvillage east, or east bloggsville?

If they provide the post code you can feed it into
http://www.royalmail.com/portal/rm/addressfinder and get a short list of
addresses. Hopefully one of them will match the badly formatted one, click
on it and you'll get it nicely formatted for copy and paste.
