Very good... I didn't realize that the server would recognize it in that
fashion. You could probably use urldecode() for getting the %40 out of it,
did you try it that way?

If you do, I'd be curious to see the result. I don't have the ambition to
code that up for a test right now, since I've got other things keeping my
plate rather full at the moment... <G>
