Hi Johan,

I did ask that question myself, and in the absence of a fine
definition, I personally take it to mean e-mail addresses
which contain ONLY letters, numbers, the at sign and full
stops or periods.

See http://www.bauk.org.uk/docs/bbchanf.htm for a full list
of the changes to UK braille.

George.
