State: open

OS: Windows XP
Browser: Fx 11.0, Fx 13.0, IE8, Chrome 17.0.963.56

STR:
1. Load a BID sign in/up page in a browser (any dev, stage or prod server page or BID dialog).
2. Enter an email address longer than 74 chars.
3. Click on the button for signing in/up.

The "This field must be an email address." error message is displayed. If the user reduces the number of chars to 74, everything seems to work ok.

Even if 74 chars would be the maximum allowed, the displayed message is erred since the entered string had the format of an email address. A more accurate message should be displayed (e.g. "Use an email address of at most X characters").
