What are you trying to achieve or the steps to reproduce?

I am using the e-mail validator so Joi.string().email().required() and I am expecting this method to have the RFC for e-mails structure implemented, i.e not allowing something like foo@bar%2ecom to be passed through, I know that %2e is . but if Joi lets this through at least the the output object that Joi produces should display the email as foo@bar.com, shouldn't it?

const Joi = require('joi');

const user = Joi.object({
  email: Joi.string().email().required()
});

What was the result you got?

No failure, the e-mail was passed

What result did you expect?

Either a validation error saying the e-mail is not corrects because it contains not allowed chars or the returned object produced by Joi to have the e-mail output as foo@bar.com instead of foo@bar%2ecom
