The first example is a result of the new privacy policy. It is
unfortunately valid. The second one is a bit more troubling. Anyone
happen to know if ,'s are allowed in an email? If they are perhaps we
need a different delimiter.
Kind of:
rfc2822: 3.4.1. Addr-spec specification
They are allowed, along with most everything else, but only with a
quoted string ... so "mahmoud,elmegheny"(a)hotmail.com is a valid email
addr. but without the quotes it isn't.
