From: Mark in Detroit on 3 Jun 2010 15:41 I want to send an e-mail to someone whose address contains his last name, O'Leary. The e-mail address is of the form xxxx.o'leary(a)yyyyyyyyyyy.com. He e-mails me so the name but be valid but Mail won't even attempt to send if I use his address. I think the problem might be his using the apostrophe. Any thoughts on how to trick Mail to allow me to e-mail him? Thanks, Mark

You might also try xxxx.o\'leary(a)yyyyyyy.com as well as what dlw suggests. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |
