I'm looking at [some examples of valid email addresses on Wikipedia] 
[1] and wondering if we should we support all these...

     <abc.123 at example.com>

     <1234567890 at example.com>

     <_______ at example.com>

     <abc+mailbox/department=shipping at example.com>

     <!#$%&'*+-/=?^_`.{|}~@example.com> (all of these characters are  
allowed)

     <"abc at def"@example.com> (anything goes inside quotation marks)

     <"Fred Bloggs"@example.com>
