We just got something  I've been dreading for awhile.

A J-Phone user who says they have a "/" in their email address.

    And I tried inputting an email address on a J-Phone
and it allows my standard stuff (see below) and the / sign
as well.

    For the longest time I've trusted that working email
characters are only A-Z (or a-z) 0-9  @ . _ and -.

    Now I'm poked around the internet a bit into various RFCs
and mailing groups and such and been thoroughly confused.
Does anyone know not so much what is allowed but what works
as an email address?

    On another mailing list one person said anything goes
in the stuff before the @ sign, another person said single
quote is fine too, another person was wondering about !
but insisted that % works.  And a third person swears by the +
sign.

      Soon I'll run a test to see if we can send to them or
not.
