I agree completely with you. We won that battle. See bug 57129
<http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57129> and bug 53970
<http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53970>.
The bug has been resolved after the Netscape 6.0 release, so you still
see the problem with Netscape 6.0. However, Beonex Communicator 0.6
<http://www.beonex.com/communicator> already ships with the default to
allow the @ sign.
