texte = >Are there any email-legal chars that could be in a valid email address that the [URL] context could turn into hexadecimal form thus trashing the email address?I would have answered this the last time you asked if I actually knew the answer for a fact, but I don't have a list of which characters are actually valid in email addresses. Nevertheless, based on my understanding of how webcat works,I do not believe it will cause any problems -- because anything that's [url]ed before it is appended gets [unurl]ed by webcat as it is written to the db ...In addition, I can tell you that I have never seen an email address fail because of [url]ing it. Maybe I was just lucky, but I think not -- I think it's meant to work this way on purpose.================================ Kenneth Grome, WebDNA Consultant 808-737-6499, http://webdna.net ================================------------------------------------------------------------- Brought to you by CommuniGate Pro - The Buzz Word Compliant Messaging Server.
