Yes, because you are URL encoding it, which does exactly that. Put a space into an email address and you'd see a %20 instead, etc. The browser will convert it back for display purposes *within the actual browser* (i.e. title bar, status bar) but the actual text really contains a %40. If you don't want this behaviour, don't URL encode the email address. Best regards, Richard Davey -- http://www.launchcode.co.uk - PHP Development Services "I do not fear computers.
