Okay, that was not Real accurate. an ampersand isn't a strange character, but
a member of one of our email groups listed her email address as "John & Mary
<johmar @
 emaddr .
 com>". Her emails to the group didn't make it through.

We use MD 1.94.5 on Fedora Core 4 "out of the box", which includes dovecot.

I applied the MIME/HTML patch some time ago but haven't seen this particular
issue and actually didn't suspect it. I asked her to take the amerpsand out of
the email address and give it a test and her email started getting to the
group.

Any ideas/thoughts?

Thanks,
