[PHP] Any Ideas @ becomes _Xy
Hi All, I don't think this is a PHP specific issue but I want to use PHP to solve it. I'm using GetResponse to supply my autoresponders. They provide an unsubscribe link at the bottom of the emails as follows: http://GetResponse.com/k.cgi?a=blahblahf=henry_Xyteacake.force9.co.uk I subscribed using the email address [EMAIL PROTECTED] They appear to have translated the @ symbol to _Xy.
