There are still lots of idiotic web sites that assume everything in
front of the @ must be a letter, digit, dot, or hyphen, and even
some that only permit one dot after the @... even though for 30
years or so, the RFCs have permitted a nice variety of other special
characters, although not all of them.<br>
