Bug Description

When adding or selecting which machine to connect to, Unix putty is not accepting:

  <email address hidden>

syntax to set the username; and brings up a message:

  Unable to open connection to <email address hidden>: Name or service not known.

Just using the plain 'host.example.com' syntax does work correctly.
