If you are using the IDA enhancements to sendmail be very careful of what you
put in the database files. Remember that the string is used as the format
string of a printf............ For example :-

	lindsay%uk.ac.ncl.kelpie@uk.ac.ncl.cheviot

becomes

	lindsay24362827373k.ac.ncl.kelpie@uk.ac.ncl.cheviot

Now if we'd lived in Sweden we might have been worse off......
