Where are you trying to register? This account is registered to this

for some specific purpose?

Thanks for the info. Keeping up with one e-mail account is enough for
me. Just because some idiot programmer (yes, I was a programmer,
hopefully not an idiot one, once upon a time) thinks all e-mails are
alpha characters and numbers needs to be educated.
Is there somewhere I can contact Open Office about this?

Came this utterance formulated by Joan & Allen Holth to my mailbox:
When I tried to register Open Office 3.1, it kindly informed me that
my e-mail address was invalid. Sorry, I have had this address for
years. Just because it has a hypen it it doesn't make it invalid.
Been there too. Some agressive email pattern matching wont allow anyone
from new zealand to register with a .maori.nz address.
The best pattern matching to employ is a loose one where you look for an
"@" and thats it. Then get anything that is spat out to go to a human
for deciphering. Often the address mistakenly has a space, a comma
instead of a period and can be recovered.
The best solution for you is to open a Gmail account and use that.
