Is anyone just using rot13 for address identification? And if so, are there enough people doing it to make the rule worthwhile? And if so, is there a computationally easy way to distinguish "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" from "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" ? They both look like valid email addresses from a simple RE standpoint. The only way I can think of is to insert the known valid TLDs into the RE, which becomes painful. Also, some TLDs (country codes) rot13 translate into other valid TLDs: it/vg, at/ng, se/fr, etc. In the end, I would guess it doesn't happen enough to make it worthwhile to look for, whereas the other single substitution methods were being used a lot at one point. -- Randomly Selected Tagline: "I just love getting wild puzzled stares when I mention that I'm using a computer that isn't physically in front of me..." - Michelle Vadeboncoeur
