Undeliverable mail if commas in subscriber's name
Just ran across this bug.....if someone subscribes to a list and the NAME provided contains a comma, the job gets messed up...not fatally though. It appears that GList tries to send it to multiple people:

NAME: Smith, John, Jr

It tries to mail SMITH (it looses the actual email address) and JOHN (also, no actual address), BUT it does send the mailer to JR at the actual email address.

Can this be fixed in the code? Or do I just have to post "Don't use COMMAS (,) in your name" kind of directions.

Any idea if any other punctuation might do this?

Thanks!

Dave
