FYI. I was in Gmail team and wrote the email address validation code which we are currently using. Gmail's validation rules are: - require "@" - local-part should be - quoted-string without CFWS and FWS, or - 1*(atext / ".") This means dot-atom-text without "." restriction. This looseness was introduced for Japanese cell phone addresses. - domain-part should be [a-zA-Z0-9]+(\.[a-zA-Z0-9]+)+ It requires at least 1 dot. The last non-dot sequence should have at least 2 characters. I have never heard requests to support for non-ASCII characters other than IDN. -- TAMURA Kent Software Engineer, Google -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
