Organization Unit Main Email Address Should Accept the Hyphen Character

[Erica Rohlfs]

Evergreen version 2.6

It is quite common for organization email addresses to include hyphens. Currently, entering the hyphen character into the Org Unit’s Main Email Address results in a “The value entered is not valid” error. The hyphen character should be an accepted character in this field.

I would also recommend adding the plus sign "+", as this is used by many mail systems to "tag" email addresses.

I can confirm that I see the same behavior, It looks like a simple fix to adjust the regex in org_unit.html. I'll try and work on this during bug squashing day.

 Grabbed the example of a simplified RFC 5322 email regex from
 http://www.regular-expressions.info/email.html and lightly modified it
 for case sensitivity and removed the "&" character from the localpart allowed
 characters, which causes a 500 server error for some reason.

 This matches many more of the valid localpart special characters, such as "+" and "-".

Please test it out and let me know if you notice any problems. I think using "&" in email addresses is sufficiently rare to just let that go for now.
