# Let me guess, has this one been fixed in 2.0b3, too? :^)
#
# The patch below fixes the obivous problem: changing "0-0" to "0-9" in
# VALID_IN_EMAIL_ADD.
This one has.

# It also does two more things:
#
# 1. Allows email addresses with percent signs (%) in the left-hand side
# of the address.
#
# 2. Does NOT allow underscores (_) in domainnames on the right-hand
# side of the address. (See RFC 1035; only dashes (-) are allowed
# aside from letters, numbers and periods.)
#
# Ideally, a small parser (a la lex & yacc) could be used for both email
# addresses and URLs to ensure proper identification.

These haven't.

I am testing a nearly done version now in two other windows. :) I'll see about adding this now. Thanks Dave.
