[Larry G. <List@ISComp.com>]

Jamie,

Thank you . . . you are awesome!  I don't know that I would have figured
that one out.  Makes perfect sense now that I see it.

Thanks for Webmin and thanks for all your efforts in support!

I don't think the output is going missing .. what is really happening is
that your browser is interpreting the <emailaddress> text as an HTML tag
that it doesn't know how to display, and thus displaying nothing.

To solve this, use webmin's &html_escape function on your output before
printing it. So instead of doing

print $output,"\n";

do

print &html_escape($output),"\n";

instead. The custom commands module does this to all the output from your
command automatically, which is why you didn't see the problem there.
