Over a period of time, here's some of the character groups that I've seen 
substituted. Feel free to use them wherever.

i or l = [|ííiil1]

a = [EMAIL PROTECTED]

e = [eé3]

o = [o0]

And, don't forget that a .? means either 1 or no characters ignored.

so

[EMAIL PROTECTED]

matches

prozac
p r o z a c
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
pmrwomawzmawc (not that you'd want to...)
etc.
