Comment (by eblot):
The trouble is that the regex is not used to validate an email address,
but used to extract email addresses from login and other kinds of
"username" strings: I don't see an easy way to distinguish an email
address from another simple username string. Up to now, Trac allows both
kinds in email-related fields.
Another option would be to ask the MTA to validate each 'suspected' email
address, but this solution seems quite complex and may report false
negatives.
The RFC(2)822 email address regex is not really usable.[[BR]]
IMHO, we could improve the existing regex so that it supports `+` and `=`
chars in email addresses.
