[jira] [Resolved] (VALIDATOR-388) Email Validator accepts invalid
E-Mail Address
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VALIDATOR-388?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Sebb resolved VALIDATOR-388.
----------------------------
Resolution: Invalid
I disagree; in this case I think Wikipedia is wrong.
RFC 3696 says (page 5):
The exact rule is that any ASCII character, including control characters, may appear quoted, or in a quoted string.
