- I have a correspondent whoes Email address is of the form
-
- John=Smith@....
-
- that is, it has an "=" embedded in it. If I try to setup an alias
- for this address elm is not able to parse it properly (it seems to
- assume that the embedded "=" is a component of the aliasing syntax).
-
- Is there any way around this problem, e.g., is there an escape character
- I can use to force elm to treat the embedded "=" literally.
