Being in Australia a lot of our members have a mailto:****@bigpond.net.au - ****@bigpond.net.au or mailto:****@bigpond.com.au - ****@bigpond.com.au address, if you hit the link to email them it comes up like mailto:****@bigp&#111 - ****@bigp&#111 ; nd.net.au It seems to be unique to bigpond addresses only. Any ideas?

Its like the letter o is being recognised as a zero or something?

Also after some posts this message comes up...

Server Error in Forum Application
An error has occurred while sending an email.
Please contact the forum administrator.

File Name:- functions_send_mail.asp

Error details:-

Is it related to above?? as from admin the email tests fine.

this error with the o is because the domain has 'on' in it.

for security teh filters change the word on to its html equilavent code which is as you can see mailto:****@bigpond.net.au - on

its a semi bug within the forum where the decodestring function isnt used just before the email is sent out .

If you turn on the built in email client from the email settings in the admin area you will not get this issue.
