   Interesting problem. It ends up in the collected email addresses and you can   
   delete it there. The check for the email address should probably be tightend   
   but usually you might open a can of worms here eg. need to check if / is an   
   allowed character in an email address.   
      
   Anyone with a recent Thunderbird who can check?
