Subject: email addresses with a # in them

Hi:

At our company, alot of people use microsoft e-mail with an address
that includes a # in the address.  
E.g.,
lastname#m#_firstname@msgw.vf.ge.com

when I have tried to subscribe persons with this address format, only the lastname 
is added to the list.  Then, I get an e-mail from the mailer that lastname does
not exist.  Everything after and including the first # is lost.

Has anybody else had this problem?
How would I fix this?

I assume I will have to edit a pearl script to remove a filter that treats #
to be a comment indicator.

Thanks for any help you can give me.
