Just stumbled across this in Utils.py:
> # TBD: what other characters should be disallowed?
> _badchars = re.compile('[][()<>|;^,/]')

and thought I'd suggest that " and ' get added to that list...

I recently wound up with a list subscriber of the form "foo@bar.baz"
(*with* the quotes!) and had a more difficult time fixing it than you
might expect.
