While looking over bug #3002,
https://bugzilla.andrew.cmu.edu/show_bug.cgi?id=3002
I started wondering what other special characters we might want to
allow. The original authors were more restrictive with GOODCHARS than
the RFC. AFAICT the following characters are permitted by RFC 3501 but
aren't included in GOODCHARS
! # $ & ' ; < > ? [ ^ ` } |
! and ^ have special meaning to Cyrus, so we may not want to add these
to GOODCHARS. & and ? might conflict with modified UTF-7 encoding.
Looking back at the list archives, there have been several requests to
allow ' (single quote) and I'm included to do so.
Does anybody want to make a case for adding more?
Has anybody already added some of these in production without any
adverse effects?
