 macon+."http://www.guymacon.com/ "@example.com is legal under RFC 822, but 
 not under RFC 2822.  Under RFC 2822, you have to do something like 
 "macon+http://www.guymacon.com/ "@example.com (in other words, quoting the 
 whole string). 
  
 Quoted LHS parts in e-mail addresses have an iffy reputation with MUAs; a 
 lot of software authors don't bother getting this right.
