Funny bug, really happened:
Put ＠ (full-width commercial; U+FF20) in a patron email address.
And see that Letters.pm does not like it. The address will not be accepted, no
mail sent.
The address appeared to be copied from a page where the full-width character is
used to discourage spammers.

For the solution two directions immediately come up:
Left: Change it where we edit it.
Right: But suppose that we like the anti-spam effect of it (although this is
actually minimal of course), we could do a replace in Letters.pm (and maybe
some more places where we directly send an email).

Your opinion is welcome.
