Comment (by boonebgorges):

 Replying to [comment:12 nacin]:
 > An esc_* function should be used for output. (esc_url_raw() is an
 exception; it was done to as not to deviate much from esc_url()). We
 already have sanitize_email() — would that work here?

 Yup, good call. I think I'd introduced an esc_* function because
 esc_html() was already in use here. Bonus: `sanitize_email()` already
 supports apostrophes.

 18039.04.patch adds the stripslashes(), swaps the esc_html() for
 sanitize_email(), and adds a passing apostrophe unit test for
 sanitize_email().
