That's because it's NOT a valid Email address.  Evo shouldn't care if 
you're trying to send to a local address - it's an SMTP-compliant mailer, 
and should expect SMTP-compliant addresses.
 
What Evo _could_ do, though, is autocomplete addresses entered as local 
address with the local domain name....
