Apostrophe in e-mail name

[Mark in Detroit]

I want to send an e-mail to someone whose address contains his last name,
O'Leary. The e-mail address is of the form xxxx.o'(e-mail address removed). He
e-mails me so the name but be valid but Mail won't even attempt to send if I
use his address. I think the problem might be his using the apostrophe. Any
thoughts on how to trick Mail to allow me to e-mail him?

Thanks,
Mark

try "xxxx.o'leary"@yyy.com or "xxxx.o'(e-mail address removed)"

You might also try xxxx.o\'(e-mail address removed) as well as what dlw suggests.
