Yes, the "username" part of e-mail addresses can contain a variety of allowed punctuation (including apostrophes). As an example that Clyde mentioned, the plus sign and exclamation mark have traditionally been used in the following convention: route!username+fol...@domain (but the +folder trick is not supported by all servers...some of them treat it as part of the username and fail to recognise it). It is even possible to have spaces, if you quote them: "James' e-mail"@my.domain.com.au.
