Nobody cares, probably because it doesn't violate the RFC. Don't put it as first or last character and rfc2822 is your friend.

You are right. Think of the dangerous "rm" which does completely different things depending on your set directory.
Run it form your/tmp directory and it is pretty harmless, run it from your home directory and it is a dangerous beast:-)

You are right.
Think of the dangerous "rm" which does completely

Run it form your
