View originalCopilot reporting an invalid email address because of apostrophe
I have a power list set up and it's returning 1 failure for an email address with an apostrophe in it. To the best of my knowledge it's a valid email:
https://mailto:john.o'doe@example.com
https://mailto:john.o'doe@example.com
Hey Joe, I have experience this before as well and learned that an apostrophe is typically not accepted in an email and will continue to cause issues for you. I recommend removing it.

I guess that isn't universal, because Google Mail won't let you create an email address with an apostrophe:
neither does Hotmail
or Yahoo
or Apple

Thank you Jeff Kirkpatrick for your analysis on this.
Jeffrey Coleman,
However, due to increased number of requests for supporting apostrophe in email address, we have added the support for this and will be available in November release (most probably by November 18)

Jeff -- definitely thank you for the analysis!
Swetha -- thanks for the fix to accommodate the folks who didn't do their research. 🙂
