"You're trying to create a hyperlink, not insert the address in a mail action, 
ok.

No... I am trying to do both. The links that are displayed in results to the 
user are hyperlinks when searching on the site. The table is also used for a 
bulkemail program and newsletter I have set up. Each string (with multiple 
email addresses) are loaded in one field (stupid I know, but users who felt 
they needed to add more then one email address added more emails using a comma 
to seperate them. In other words, I had a field set up to take 150 characters 
and the users added multiple email addresses in that field). 

Look... it's not a big deal. I can replace all the commas with a semicolon in 
the table. In the newsletter and bulkemail program, I can simply use @replace 
and can get it to work just fine. I should have been more stringent in what the 
users were inputting. The probelm is most of the users are from China and and 
there seems to have been a problem with a translation.

Live and learn, eh?
