As I said before, I haven't looked at all at how the saved address string
is handled after that routine returns it - I assumed that something else
must be processing those (and probably in a way that allowed your 'x'
workaround to work) - but if not, by all means, remove them there, I don't
see any harm in doing that, as the user isn't being required to give them.
