A trick I often use is to use a text editor to search and replace a
certain unique part of each line to include a tab character before or
after it, e.g. in your case, replace '> ' with '>\t', then copy and
paste/import the resultant text into a spreadsheet.  The tabs act as
column delimiters, so the e-mail addresses will be in one column and
the names in another one.  You can then rearrange the columns to suit
(you can even add extra columns, e.g. if you need to enclose data in
certain characters).

You can then export/copy and paste the data from the spreadsheet back
into a text editor and remove the tabs to end up with a text file in
the format you require.

(I use this trick for other things, such as splitting e-mail addresses
into user and domain parts, so you can sort on domain to group
subscribers together)

Not particularly elegant, but making use of the tools (and knowledge)
available to me!
