Markdown Discuss - Jul 2008 - + in email addresses - edge case with a lot of variation between implementations.

http://babelmark.bobtfish.net/?markdown=%3Ca%2Bb%40c.org%3E&normalize=on

Only Python markdown, Pandoc, discount and PEG markdown seem to get  
this 'right'.

As a + is perfectly valid in email addresses, I'm going to fix this  
in my modules.

This was reported to me via the cpan.org RT (37909), and I thought  
I'd share as it's a good one in Babelmark.

Cheers
Tom

I'm looking at [some examples of valid email addresses on Wikipedia] 
[1] and wondering if we should we support all these...

     <abc.123 at example.com>

     <1234567890 at example.com>

     <_______ at example.com>

     <abc+mailbox/department=shipping at example.com>

     <!#$%&'*+-/=?^_`.{|}~@example.com> (all of these characters
are
allowed)

     <"abc at def"@example.com> (anything goes inside quotation
marks)

     <"Fred Bloggs"@example.com>
