We do care about truly local e-mail addresses, without '@' anywhere
inside <braket>, simply because they are common in the result of SCM
conversion from CVS/SVN.

But I do not think we are pedantic/academic enough to have cared
about any local part that is unusual enough to require quoting; we
instead relied on the fact that we live in real world with practical
people who would avoid such an address ;-).
