Details

Although e-mail should never be sent without a valid From: address, it is common
and often recommended that users protect their e-mail addresses from spam
harvesters in newsgroups. A typical example would be to use an e-mail address
like "fred at aol dot com" instead of "fred@aol.com". This is currently
impossible when creating an account and creates a limit in functionality not
found in other newsreaders. It would be better to confirm when a user enters an
invalid e-mail address and ask them if they're sure they want to use it.

For contrast, see bug 3744, Must require email address to be syntactically 
valid.
