    Default quotes in email address

    Is it possible to edit what valid characters are allowed in an email address? I have a customer that has their email address as <d'amigo@mydomain.com>. This fails the email test.

    Thanks.

    But what if that is their email address? If you validate those characters out they won't get any emails from the system! I'm not sure whether email addresses can have special characters, but if they can you have to allow for them or you can't contact your customer.

    Just realised what you're getting at. Currently the RegEx validation doesn't allow for quotes. Not very good at RegEx myself, but you'll need to change this:

    Code:
    ValidationExpression="^[a-zA-Z0-9][-\w\.\+]*@([a-zA-Z0-9][\w\-]*\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,4}$"
    on line 52 of createaccount.aspx

    to perhaps this:
    Code:
    ValidationExpression="^[a-zA-Z0-9][-\w\.\+\']*@([a-zA-Z0-9][\w\-]*\.)+[a-zA-Z]{2,4}$"
