Currently the secmail tool properly checks a proposed id and highlights it in red if it does not conform. Either it is already in use or it is not alphabetic followed by at least two alphanumeric characters. If the id is illegal, the tool refuses to file the icla. Then everyone complains that the account was not created.
It comes up often enough that I'd like a different way of handling this case. If the name is illegal, I'd like to file the icla but send a different message. I'll work on the message and then work on the processing to send it.
