Freemailers allow emails with unusual parts before the at sign. Like ...name@web.de which looks cool with certain short names, but which is also rejected by many mailing programs. Another tricky one is an abbreviation like a.b.c.@gmx.net which is also valid there, rejected by some strict checkers, and most horribly often mistyped because people also usually think there should be no trailing dot.
Lessons learned? Not to check too strictly (like said above) if at all, and secondly both friends got alternate addresses without any dots before the at, just to be sure everyone could message them.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
