My concern is about e-mail addresses. Currently MHonArc does accept the
slash character "/" in addresses. I would like them to be accepted.
Could you show us an example? I'd have to double check, but I
do not think a '/' is a legal character in an e-mail address.
I do not have RFC 822 handy, so can anyone verify this?
here is a example:
GUILLAUME_OGET/HP-France-om1(_at_)hpgnd(_dot_)grenoble(_dot_)hp(_dot_)com
I have rfc822: the relevant lines for the addr-spec are here:
addr-spec = local-part "@" domain ; global address
local-part = word *("." word) ; uninterpreted
; case-preserved
where word can be defined like this:
atom = 1*<any CHAR except specials, SPACE and CTLs>
specials = "(" / ")" / "<" / ">" / "@" ; Must be in quoted-
/ "," / ";" / ":" / "\" / <"> ; string, to use
/ "." / "[" / "]" ; within a word.
word = atom / quoted-string
So it seems that any character in 32..127 (ASCII) is allowed except
the following ()<>@,;:\".[]
hope this helps.
