Well, it did a good job of picking out your email address, didn't it? :-)
I fixed it there, so it doesn't show anymore.
IMO, the problem here is that the script doesn't check if email addresses are embedded in URLs, so the answer is to fix the script, not to allow HTML in general. But I'm not sure if there's an easy way to do that, and the Perl in that section is already messy...
But there's a way to get around this. It might or might not technically be considered "HTML". Can anyone figure it out? :-) If you want to experiment, feel free to use this thread...

Yeah, I see what you mean... but I'm *still* going to push for the HTML! lol How about just italics, nothing else?

It actually wasn't so bad, so this is the last day to submit an answer (sorry, there's no prize):

Replace the '@' character in the URL by the 3-character string "%40".

Dinah,
My nephew, whom I've dubbed the Ultimate Computer Geek, would want to form a club with Jonathan...
But they sure are handy guys to have around :)
