Have you reported this previously, or are you just expecting that
someone else has done so?

Anyway:-

[rt2]
mysql> select count(*) from Users where EmailAddress like '%.%.%@%';
+----------+
| count(*) |
+----------+
|       52 |
+----------+
1 row in set (0.71 sec)

[rt3]
mysql> select count(*) from Users where EmailAddress like '%.%.%@%';
+----------+
| count(*) |
+----------+
|      193 |
+----------+
1 row in set (0.18 sec)

there's apparently nothing special about two dots as far as I or my
RT2 and RT3 instances can tell...
