bang-formatted addresses

2001-08-15 11:00:39

Question about bangs (exclamation marks) in local-parts of addresses: My reading of the expansion of local-part to dot-atom to atext is that a bang is (1) permitted in the local-part of the address and (2) may appear _anywhere_ in the local-part.

Specifically, constructions such as <!bob(_at_)domain(_dot_)com> and <bob!(_at_)domain(_dot_)com> are permitted, even though they technically violate parsing rules for bang addresses.

Correct?

Much gracias.
