Was writing a mail to my ISP; A few months back I changed my mailadres using + #subaddressing, but that broke the internal system as the logon name didn't support + addressing but did accept it for mail.
Now there was a mismatch [email protected] != [email protected], couldn't check my invoices etc…
Wanted get that fixed, wrote a whole mail explaining #RFC5233. But before sending decided to check it again. And now they do accept + in logon! Should've checked before typing this long mail 🤓 -
I hate booking forms (and others, but specifically bookings) that don't accept subaddressing (plus-addressing) in email addresses and insist on "you must enter a valid email address". You stupid brain dead web developers! Read and understand that damn RFC 5233!
