  Apostrophe is very definitely valid in email addresses.  Actually, per 
the RFC, alphanumeric characters, along with !, #, $, %, &, ', *, +, -, =, 
?, ^, _, `, {, |, } and ~ are all valid in the username portion of email 
addresses.

  This is defined in RFC 2822.  The address format is specified in 
sections 3.4 and 3.4.1; the valid characters are defined in section 3.2.4.
