I can understand that. % 2. If they're added as protection against weird characters, shouldn't % there be a consistent method to remove them again? AIUI they're added by the sending MTA (or even MUA) because they have to be there, not like quoting in transit or even the ^>From_ escape in an mbox (which could be unnecessary if you used and trusted the Content-Length: header but which usually ends up there anyway), so I don't believe that a removal method maps (or would map well). Your one hope, I think, is that not all multi-word fullnames require them; even my pluralization apostrophe above, for instance, doesn't cause wrapping in quotes. % 3. It uses up a character in my index view using up screen space and % chopping ends of names. Yeah, that's always a problem, too. What about just using %F instead? % % -- % Benjamin Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]> :-D -- David T-G * It's easier to fight for one's principles (play) [EMAIL PROTECTED] * than to live up to them. -- fortune cookie (work) [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.justpickone.org/davidtg/ Shpx gur Pbzzhavpngvbaf Qrprapl Npg!
