yep, there is definately a field for improvment... But i've
copied this  regexp from rfc2822 (IIRC) module, which comes
with python2.2, but not with python2.1. So i thought these
chars would be enough (or may be they are defined in that
rfc (?)). 

Anyway extending character set is not too difficult... Will
this resolve the issue?
