In light of discussions like this, it seems to me like in the long term 
it would be more suitable to change the : separator.  It's only going to

Did you know?  Most email-borne viruses use a false sender address.
Therefore you cannot track down the sender using that address.  Instead,
keep your virus scanning software up-to-date and just delete any
suspicious emails you receive.
