These are the characters listed under atext (If I'm reading it right):
! # $ % & ' * + - / = ? ^ _ ` { | } ~

All I've gotta say is, thank God for XML cause ' and | would tear apart my
CSV files. I almost always use | instead of a comma.

I did a test and iMail will accept mail from a'[EMAIL PROTECTED] but it will not
let me create the email address a'a.

>I would assume this is in an RFC somewhere. Anyone know where?

RFC  2822,  superseding  RFC  822. Have fun--look under 'atext' in the

>1) It means I'm wrong.

Don't fret; you're in good company :)))...
