Hi,
Sendmail supports '+' characters in the username part of email addresses,
which allows especially list managers to do neat things with
mail+attribute@email.domain addresses. Hypermail's email highlighting
feature doesn't recognize the plusses - it truncates the address as
attribute@email.domain.
A quick fix appears to be to just add '+' to the VALID_IN_EMAIL_USERNAME
definition in src/string.c. The only thing I'm not sure of is how this
plus will then be interpreted by www browsers - will they treat it as a
space (re: url-encoding) or as a plus?
I've patched my version of hypermail to recognize plussed addresses, and
it seems to work (using kfm as a browser).
