Actually, according to RFC822 (section 3.4.1), spaces are
allowed in email addresses:
Note: In particular, quoting is NOT permitted within
atoms. For example when the local-part of an addr-spec
must contain a special character, a quoted string must be
used. Therefore, a specification such as:
Full\ [EMAIL PROTECTED]
is not legal and must be specified as:
"Full Name"@Domain
Moreover, I've encounted several bone-headed sys admins
that are assigning email addresses that are of this format.
Of course, when I complained to them that they are idiots
for choosing such email addresses, they pointed me to
RFC822. I still think they are idiots...
Later,
John
