  • user name test

    It seems something is going screwy with user tags.
    Curious

    as this seemed to work, for anyone else who cases the
    following might help if you are posting from googlegroups.
    My post has at the top a form element labeled from.
    That's followed by my email in the form of a my tag name
    followed by my email address in angle brackets. There
    are no quotes around my tag name.

    I have suspicions that the developers have "upgraded"
    something to do with how they encrypt email addresses.
    As I recall, they do some back and forth to a specialized
    format of HTML that restricts some tags and probably
    encrypts email addresses. From some limited experiences
    long ago, all sorts of odd things like whether or not the user
    name tag begins inside quotes or not can effect things.

    There are some mixed notions for standards of listing an email
    address that don't require a separate user name or bracketing
    the root email address. I guess I could try to manufacture the
    problem by playing with the from line but where's the fun in that?
