I'm trying to track one down before I post it to bugzilla...

I have this problem where someone who posts without a valid email address
("." or a single period as his email address) causes problems when I try
to followup to his posts... 

Even though he has a "name" set, the name does not show up in my attribute
line.

The attribute line I use is "On %d, %n said:", so the email address should
not come into consideration (right?).

Here is the "From" header of the post in question:
From:         "neopolaris" <.>

And here is the created attribute line when I compose a follow up:

If it matters, that is not the attribute line for the default posting
profile for that NG. If I use the default the attribute line is:

 by saying:

(Yes, I know I use a tacky attribute line... it's only for that one NG
though...)

I am trying to see if this problem is specific to "neopoaris" up there, or
if it is anyone with a "." for an email address. I tried posting to a
.test NG with just a "." as an email address, but Pan won't let me do
that... ;)
I am having problems trying to find anyone who uses "." as their email
address in any other NGs...

BTW - Is it a bug that Pan warns that "ERROR: Must have one author in
From: line" if you try to post with "." as you email address? It seems
like it should say "ERROR: Invalid email address for this posting profile"
or something along those lines...
