   Hello mark,

   Sadly, that is indeed what was overlooked.   
      
      
    ML> it should NOT put the @ unless there is a domain specified... so still a   
    ML> design  flaw nonetheless...   
      
   Martin discovered that the @ is hardcoded, and does not clear out when the   
   domain field is empty.   
      
   So, any gibberish in the domain field will suffice to prevent a session from   
   failing on strict systems looking for something in the @domain part.
