--- Comment #1 from Damian Jansen <djansen at redhat.com> ---
Along with the above example, the inline email validation fails to recognise
many other invalid entities (e.g. email at -domain.com) - though these seem to be
picked up afterwards by java mail handling.

More importantly, however, is that valid email addresses are being rejected -
such as:
"email"@domain.com (quoted strings are acceptable)
email@[domain.com] (bracketed domains are acceptable)

A test should be devised to handle all of the cases from the front-end and the
validation upgraded to comply.
