Topic: Apostrophe (') in email address

Hi, I have a user with an apostrophe in their email address (as in o'neil), but punBB says this is invalid and so won't send them the password to validate their account!

Anything that can be done (besides them using a different email!)

Many thanks.

Re: Apostrophe (') in email address

I believe it's a bug since the is_valid_email() function in include/email.php checks for apostrophe characters (or at least I think so, I'm not the best programmer around).

Re: Apostrophe (') in email address

Could you perhaps provide the full e-mail address (obfuscated of course)?
