That's not right, and that sort of thinking is what causes most
websites to screw up on + delimited addresses. the characters
allowed in the username portion of the address are outlined in RFC2822
* All alpha numerics (A-Za-z0-9)
* The characters ! # $ % * / ? | ^ { } ` ~ & ' + - = _
* The character ., non-repeated, as long as it is not
first or last
fred#smith(_at_)mydoamin(_dot_)tld
mark+jones(_at_)mydomain(_dot_)tld
#!$%!^{fred}(_at_)mydomain(_dot_)tld
alice(_dot_)williams(_at_)mydoamin(_dot_)tld
are all perfectly legal. Yes, even #!$%!^{fred}(_at_)mydomain(_dot_)tld
jon(_dot_)(_at_)mydoamin(_dot_)tld
fred(_dot_)(_dot_)smith(_at_)mydoamin(_dot_)tld
are not legal
In addition, the local part may be a quoted string.
Thank you. You saved me a bit of time by stating this. I agree
that Michelle's summary was in error.
