Email with UTF-8 characters
Opened this issue · 1 comments
Hi, I was comparing this crate with email_address crate
And I have an email with a controversial character � - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specials_(Unicode_block)
Then email_address and validator do not agree if it is valid or not abc�def@example.com
let email = "abc�def@example.com";
EmailAddress::from_str(email).is_ok(); // true
validator::validate_email(email); // false
According to RFC6531 - UTF-8 characters should be allowed in the email however, it is often not very practical.
Perhaps the solution could be adding some parse options to the email validator.
Probably the best thing for the community would be to have just one crate for email validation and cooperation between email_address and validator.

Our validation is very simple: https://github.com/Keats/validator/blob/master/validator/src/validation/email.rs#L8-L18 we just use whatever the HTML spec allows. So it will reject potentially valid email addresses as indicated in a comment in those lines.
