Request: Support "Email plus addressing" in SeaTable account registration

Problem

I found that “Email plus addressing”, aka subaddressing, tagged addressing and email tagging, is not supported during account registration in https://seatable.com/

(FYI, “Email plus addressing” means the use of “+” symbol before the @ in an email address. For example, jane.doe+newsletter@gmail.com)

Error Message:

Actually, I used such a format during registration. I received an email to activate my account. But upon clicking the link “Verify My Email Address” inside the received email, a web page is open and an error message writes:

“The email address is invalid. Please open the link we sent you by email. If in doubt, you can always register again at seatable.com and we will send you a new email.”

Wish/request

Curious enough, “Email plus addressing” is supported when we sign up in SeaTable forum. Please add the support of “Email plus addressing” in SeaTable account registration.

Thanks for reporting the issue. We will check it soon.

Thank you, I can confirm that there’s indeed an issue with email addresses that contain the + character. We’ll try to fix this.

In the meantime, you can work around this by modifying the URL that is inside the email and replacing the + symbol with the following characters: %2B

Example: https://start.seatable.com/?mail=alice+seatable@gmail.com&token=ABCD → https://start.seatable.com/?mail=alice%2Bseatable@gmail.com&token=ABCD

Please let me know whether you were able to complete the registration process!

I confirm that the %2B trick workaround works perfectly!

Thank you.
