Section 3 says:
The exact rule is that any ASCII character, including control
characters, may appear quoted, or in a quoted string. When quoting
is needed, the backslash character is used to quote the following
character. For example
Abc\@def@example.com
is a valid form of an email address. Blank spaces may also appear,
as in
Fred\ Bloggs@example.com
The backslash character may also be used to quote itself, e.g.,
Joe.\\Blow@example.com
