Re: What characters can be in an email address?

Well here are the ones I believe to be permissable:
= _  ~  / #
 Largely b/c they are used in Lotus Notes type addresses (x.400 I think??)  My
mind is not completely my own so I may misspeak.

Not sure if there's an RFC on this (Era will know I'm sure ;-) but I was
wondering what non a-z 0-9 characters are considered "legal" as part of an
email address.... or maybe what aren't?

I know/guess that

        @ ! , " ' < > ( ) %  are not allowed

        + _ . *

What about others such as ? / [ ] ~ ` & = # ^ : ;

Just curious....

Thanks!
