Hi all,

I have a page that lets the users make contact groups and send an email to
them.  I have a form that lets the user enter the details of his message
including his full name and his email address.  Once this form is submitted,
I do the following to get a string for .From property of the CDONTS mail
object:

Sender = userFullName & "<" & userEmailAddress & ">"

Now I stumbled upon a bug where if the user adds a title to his name (i.e.:
"John Smith, MD"), the address for the recipient gets truncated where the
comma is and the recipents can't reply as the address is now invalid.  Is
there a way to encode any special character in the string so that it will be
mailer friendly?

Thanks in advance!

First off, have you tried using CDO.Message instead?  CDONTS has been
deprecated, and at some point you will be forced to migrate from it anyway.

You might experiment with stripping out problematic characters, surrounding
the name with some kind of delimiter, or just using the address in the From
property.
