Description robbbob 2009-09-08 21:53:06 UTC 
During registration of a new OpenOffice installation the system does not allow
an email address where the domain name has a dash.  Specifically tried to
register with robws@schu-box.com and got an invalid email address error and it
would not leave the registration page.

i have confirmed this bug with two other domains containing a hyphen, one a personal domain and one a 
test domain; get error "Email Address is improperly formatted"

also, dashes don't seem to be allowed in passwords; error message is misleading: "Password must be 
between 6 and 60 characters"

I have also experienced this problem.

I am unable to register as a user of Openoffice because my email address
contains a hyphen. When registering with my email address
@function-design.co.uk, I receive the message "email address is improperly
formatted".

If I remove the hyphen, the message does not appear.

I understand that a bug tracker may not be the place to makes this comment, but:
It seems that this bug is now over 6 months old. With the greatest of respect,
surely it should not take that long to provide a working implementation of what
would seem to be a trivial bit of functionality used on millions of sites?
