Today after 11 years in the biz I learned that single quotes are a valid email username character. They were explicitly defined as so in 2001 with RFC 2822 and yet it surprised me.
You know who else it surprises? #Microsoft with their shitty OData API

@trevdev@fosstodon.org As someone who started self hosting their own email recently, I've found most devs don't know what a "valid" email is. Input forms keep telling me my address can't possibly end in '.email', but it's completely valid!
