Ken, I saw this problem in 5.2.1 too. At times, the email parser function just appends an extra character to the user name. I've debugged it and saw that the entire string [EMAIL PROTECTED] was passed in correctly, but at times the user name has extra character added to it. I think it's either the memory is not clean from previous call or there is some flaw in the algorithm itself. I re-wrote the email parser function using strok() and it worked for me. Then I saw a new function in 5.3 and decided to try it and it worked.
