      No, not that.  I just realized what I should have from the start  
- seems that Alzheimer is getting me.  It's just URL encoding.  I even  
had a PHP script in order to check this kind of thing.  This is not  
the percent sign problem, but the any sign problem except for hyphen,  
dot and low line.

      Seems that the users at my work don't like using symbols in  
their passwords, because if they did this problem would have arisen  
long ago.

      Well, anyway.  This isn't a problem for SquirrelMail users.   
This is only a problem when using a dual mail service which involves  
SquirrelMail and POP3.
