What is up with the @ sign on people who do not use an alias but their e-mail address?
If you cut and paste an address into your e-mail browser the @ doesn't work and you have to manually re -insert it.
It used to work just fine, was there a reason for the change? or is it just me all screwed up! LOL!

I did that a while ago to try and prevent people from spamming you.
