[FX.php List] posting an email address

[Bob Patin]

Andrew,

I suppose that's true, but it's never been a problem for me, since no  
one ever enters their email address as "adenmanxtmea.org".
What my code does is keep the @ sign from becoming a wildcard, and for  
that it works fine. I can't imagine ever needing to enclose the whole  
thing in double quotes...

But that's just me... :)
