Valid Email Addresses

Many websites attempt to validate email addresses based on formatting rules alone. Often, they use regular expressions which may turn out to be wrong, which is difficult to notice due to their complexity. Attempting to do very much validation of email addresses is usually a mistake and should be avoided.

The most common problem I've seen personally, from the perspective of a website user, is that email addresses containing a plus-sign (+) are considered invalid. For example, an email address like my_name+extra_info@gmail.com is often rejected as invalid. However, that conclusion is incorrect.

According to RFC 3696 from the IETF, + is a valid character for the "local part" (the part before the @ sign).
According to RFC 5233, the my_name+extra_info@gmail.com address is valid and the receiving mail server will deliver messages for that address to the user with the address

	# This script is easier to use when in a file named "quopri" without the extension.
	# The ".sh" extension is helpful for syntax highlighting in GitHub and editors.
	# For use, it's recommended to either remove the ".sh" from the filename or make a
	# symbolic link to it named "quopri".

	# For more information about quopri, see: https://docs.python.org/library/quopri.html

	python -mquopri "${@}"
