If it doesn't contain a '@' the account cannot be created. I like my email address for the news to be in the form xxx(at)xxx.xx, so without @. I don't like thich check. After the account is created, I must edit it and set email adress as I want (xxx(at)xxx.xx). There are no checks, so it pass. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Confirming, though I'm not sure we want to do it; it could cause more harm (not catching typos) than good (allowing posting with obscured e-mail addresses). MeDon - What about adding "(at)" as a valid substitute for "@", for News accounts only? Clarifying summary: was: email adress for the new news account must have '@' now: Don't require "@" when validate of news account e-mail address Hardware: PC -> All OS: Linux -> All
Status: UNCONFIRMED → NEW
Ever confirmed: true

Summary: email adress for the new news account must have '@' → Don't require "@" when validate of news account e-mail address
fix typo -- sorry for spam
Summary: Don't require "@" when validate of news account e-mail address → Don't require "@" when validate news account e-mail address

Required by GNKSA, Rule 12 <http://www.xs4all.nl/~js/gnksa/gnksa.txt>. WONTFIX. It is usually considered bad habit to not have a working reply address, it causes technical problems and usability problems. If you do insist on munging your address, make sure to use .invalid as top-level domain.

What about just popup warning window "Your email address is wrong, do you want to continue? Yes X No." Good software should let the user to set what he/she wants. It is usually bad habit of programmer to think that they know what is good for users and what is not.

No, not when it affects other users and/or standards. Please read the GNKSA.
