Regex on AbstractGbifUser doesn't allow dash (-) #20

Closed cgendreau closed 6 years ago

Emails like aa@aa.bb-cc.org are currently rejected but the format is actually valid.

Do IDNs work?

example@prøve.dk is a valid address, but I don't know if it gets punycoded to example@xn--prve-hra.dk (the real domain) before the API sees it.

(Or अजय@डाटा.भारत)

IDNs will only be accepted if converted to Punycode first (wish is not the case at the moment). If at some point it is needed, the regex can be updated to use \p{L}\p{M} instead of A-Za-z.
