The problem with a "whitelist" of what is a valid email address is that a CORRECT
implementation of a valid email address checker is a Regex about 3 pages (!) long.
I think this is a case where a blacklist of the specific characters that allow header injection is
better.
I'm quite tired of having my email address rejected by stupid programs. Thank you.
