+/* Currently we don't sanitize or escape user-supplied SENDER and RECIPIENT_EMAILs.
+ * We may need to do so. For one, '.' in usernames seems to require escaping!
+ *
+ * From http://cr.yp.to/smtp/address.html:
+ *
+ * SMTP offers three ways to encode a character inside an address:
+ *
+ * "safe": the character, if it is not <>()[].,;:@, backslash,
+ * double-quote, space, or an ASCII control character;
+ * "quoted": the character, if it is not \012, \015, backslash,
+ * or double-quote; or
+ * "slashed": backslash followed by the character.
+ *
+ * An encoded box part is either (1) a sequence of one or more slashed
+ * or safe characters or (2) a double quote, a sequence of zero or more
+ * slashed or quoted characters, and a double quote. It represents
+ * the concatenation of the characters encoded inside it.
+ *
+ * For example, the encoded box parts
+ * angels
+ * \a\n\g\e\l\s
+ * "\a\n\g\e\l\s"
+ * "angels"
+ * "ang\els"
+ * all represent the 6-byte string "angels", and the encoded box parts
+ * a\,comma
+ * \a\,\c\o\m\m\a
+ * "a,comma"
+ * all represent the 7-byte string "a,comma".
+ *
+ * An encoded address contains
+ * the byte <;
+ * optionally, a route followed by a colon;
+ * an encoded box part, the byte @, and a domain; and
+ * the byte >.
+ *
+ * It represents an Internet mail address, given by concatenating
+ * the string represented by the encoded box part, the byte @,
+ * and the domain. For example, the encoded addresses
+ * <God@heaven.af.mil>
+ * <\God@heaven.af.mil>
+ * <"God"@heaven.af.mil>
+ * <@gateway.af.mil,@uucp.local:"\G\o\d"@heaven.af.mil>
+ * all represent the Internet mail address "God@heaven.af.mil".
