Can someone make a QUICK suggestion? I'm looking at my keyboard, and I
see characters not in my sendmail.cf, but I don't feel confident they
aren't magic elsewhere in mail, if only as problem causers.
My mail goddess has gone home, all I can do is test against a few
mailers, none of which objected to ` in an address. Don't take that as a
recommendation, someone probably doesn't like that either :-(
I suspect that if there were a better character it would have emerged 18
months ago. I'd like to look at others, I'm not sure it's going to solve
anything.
