...or fail gracefully, which is the other option?

Side note: Is there any reason we don't use Mail::Address directly
instead of Email::Valid (which depends on it)? That _will_ accept an
address of the form that's causing problems, without complaint.

I agree with Gavin that there's no point in testing for an error
condition if we aren't going to handle it.
