Turba doesn't allow localhost email addresses


Turba's Email field doesn't allow localhost addresses or any addresses
which just have a top level domain but now lower level.

This is caused by the Horde_Form_Type::_isRfc3696ValidEmailAddress
parser, line 2002 (because these are not public internet addresses)

RFC 3696 doesn't say an email address must be on a public domain.
In fact,  <at> localhost is a valid email address for local delivery.

Do you think we should remove that requirement?

I think we should leave it. PHP's FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL doesn't allow  
them either, and I can see us using that instead of a userland PHP  
validator.
