Yes to the latter. This is definitely a bug, since (as avg@ points out) you can no longer copy-paste the name & address into an email client. AFAIK (judging from the Unicode group they're in) these characters are intended mainly for writing things like <ENTER> and <CTRL>+<F1> in technical documentation. I've attached a patch. -- Dag-Erling Smørgrav - d...@des.no
