For example "foo@x500.bund.de". But what I meant is that code handling WKD errors that show an information to the user should not exist. All WKD lookup errors in Search should be silently discarded. Because the user does not know that he is performing a WKD search so she should not be informed about errors in that.
Looking up "foo@x500.bund.de" in Kleopatra results in a "General error" being reported.
