invalid Email error for [email protected] address

[Cirene]

I have code written to update the users email address...

Dim u As MembershipUser
u = Membership.GetUser
u.Email = Me.txtEmail.Text
Membership.UpdateUser(u)

I tried the email address: (e-mail address removed)

The error I get on UpdateUser is...
System.Configuration.Provider.ProviderException: The E-mail supplied is
invalid. at
System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider.UpdateUser(MembershipUser user) at
System.Web.Security.MembershipUser.Update() at
System.Web.Security.Membership.UpdateUser(MembershipUser user) at
admins_ManageUsers.SaveContactInfo()

Any ideas why?

I think it's because it already exists in the db?
