Your system information

  • Steam client version (build number or date): Unsure, Devuan package version 1.0.0.54-2
  • Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Devuan
  • Opted into Steam client beta?: No
  • Have you checked for system updates?: Yes

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Account creation fails, I enter my information and select continue. A red box at the top of the Steam window appears which says "Please enter a valid email address." One item of note is that the e-mail being entered includes non-alphanumeric characters ('+' in this case, '%' is also legal though is rejected by many modern MTAs; only the destination MTA is allowed to interpret the local-part).

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Start Steam client.
  2. Select "CREATE A NEW ACCOUNT..."
  3. Enter information, including e-mail address.
  4. Select "Continue".
