Summary: email address will slashes

Initial Comment:
The mailing list login/(un)subscribe form does not
accept email addresses with slashes in the name. In
particular, the user has a LotusNotes email address
which contains slashes.

For example, an email address such as
foo_bar/myschool/mydoe at notes.k12.hi.us will not be
accepted by the form. It responds that the email
address is illegal.

This patch for 2.1.4 removes / as a bad character to enable
Lotus Notes compatibility.

I can confirm this bug on Mailman 2.1.4. Addresses with
slashes are rejected as hostile although they conform to
rfc822. Such addresses are also used on some systems to
deliver mail to subfolders, e.g.:

user+folder/subfolder at domain
