Exactly my point: if you use such email addresses you will make it difficult
for a lot of people to send you email. I know there is a reply button on
outlook and once your email is in my address book, I don't have to worry
anymore... But then I may have other problems (outlook love bug)...
Plus the fact that it is tolerated by some email agents does not make it
right. You may also cause problems with some servers/clients that are not as
tolerant... My position would be: if it is not allowed by the standard,
don't do it.
