My organization uses Exchange and has some weird characters in email addresses. For example: IT/TI-Support@company.com SMW Email type rejects this email and won't display it. I expected to be able to use % codes at worst. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percent-encoding IT%2FTI-Support@company.com also fails. So I'd like the validation relaxes to account for craptacular Exchange, or an option to turn off validation completely (although a basic /^.+?@.+?\..+?$/ is still useful for me) If someone can point me at where validation is made, I could probably make a patch file.
Thanks for reporting. I threw away SMWs regex and made use of MWs native email validation function when available or a fallback when using MW < 1.18. Tested the email you provided, works now. See r102486.
