I thought apostrophes weren't allowed in email addresses. Is there any possibility that the user typed it in wrong or that the email client is receiving an escaped character that they are displaying as an apostrophe?

Me too I thought apostrophes weren't allowed in email addresses.

But it is possible in the microsoft outlook.

Escaping a character means that a specific character is displayed and in some cases even that a user types in that certain character, but the program actually converts it to a different character without telling the user. For example, typing ' in an HTML file is escaping an apostrophe. The user sees an apostrophe, but the browser is actually using 6 characters.
