I just wonder why special chars have been limited so heavily in email addresses provided by trashmail.
Original specification says that all these char should be allowed in email address:
Code: Select all
! # $ % & ' * + - / = ? ^ _ ` { | } ~
And dot if it's not last of first and isn't following or preceding dot.
I personally would love to be able to use dot and plus signs in addresses. Especially dot. Is there any good reason why it isn't allowed?
- Thank you!

Which specification exactly? Where did you found this?
Do you mean the email RFC?

I mean official RFC. But only char what I'm actually interested about is dot, it would be really nice to be able to use it.
- Thanks
