But if it's not hard to send a neatly formatted e-mail, why not?
Oh. Duh. I didn't realize that the user name actually does something--it's what's displayed in the email itself. I just didn't see why it was there in the first place.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
My email will be down through tomorrow, due to a some thingy with my ISP.
If you right click and "download as" the actual code through the link I just added, we should be golden.
eta: Just to be clear, the code should be downloaded from the link on my site, not the link to the site ... GAH!
From this link.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
If it helps any, I do remember punctuation in user names causing issues with the email form thingies.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Gus, that link takes me to the result of an evaluation (111) -- I can't see the actual code. Maybe if you zip it, or display it in HTML?

As a zip.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
I think that's your browser. The code just makes it white.
Oh, okay. I'll go hunting. Thanks.

Another possible solution to the email validation thing: Put the user name and user ID as separate (hidden) fields on the form. When the form gets submitted, just validate the email address. Then concatinate them when the email gets sent.
Edit: If the user accepts the default, then the value of the radio button would be the user's email address (that's stored in the system). In that case, the extra hidden field with the user's name would be used.

tommy, seriously, look at my voting pages. IIRC, that's exactly what I do.

I looked at one of your voting pages last night. I didn't notice the extra hidden user field, though. I prolly just didn't look close enough.
(edit: I was under the impression that your solution was similar to my "let's ditch the user id entirely" one, so I just looked at enough to confirm that in my head.)
I did notice on your page that you kept the user's email address surrounded by < & > - that makes sense now.
