Message - "Email Address in invalid format"

John,

be more cautious in posting your real email address - use a coded form. Otherwise the bad guys fish it from a public post and you are in for a lot of spam. Your address is fully valid. Do you have the trouble only when using a certain browser or also in a mail program? Which browser does produce the problem - can you try a different browser? It certainly has nothing to do with your computer and the Panther OS.

John,

that message comes up when you have some invalid character in your email address. Type in the address manually and check you entry in the autocomplete option. Often an unintentional space character is hiding where it does not stand out.

John,

if you are absolutely sure there is no leading or trailing space hidden in your address you probably have an address like john.lane@provider.com . Several people have complained that such a address is being considered invalid by certain sites ( the dot on the left is offending ). There is no known fix yet.
I myself have a dot the left of the "AT" and never had problems with it.
