Re: [iMS] e-mail format

[Howie Hamlin]

Most any character is allowed as long as it's escaped with a slash.  I do think that apostrophes in an email address should be discouraged, however.  You can always have them set up their friendly name with the apostrophe and the email address without.  For example:   Name: John O'Brien   email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED]   Friendly address: "John O/'Brien"   The RFC for this is here: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2822.txt   HTH,   Howie   ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: inFusion Support List Sent: Friday, October 22, 2004 11:38 AM Subject: [iMS] e-mail format Hey Howie,   Is an apostrophe a valid character for e-mail addresses? I know Exchange allows it, but is that just Microsoft setting their own standards?   Regards, Marc This list server is Powered by iMS "The Swiss Army Knife of Mail Servers" This list is provided as a free service.
