Hi.

What?  You want to have the email address on your business card have a
different syntax that is used in the user interface to send email?

So every time you give your business card to someone you go through a
routine like this: "And across the bottom of my card is my email address,
but, of course, when you type it into the mail system you replace the
semi-colons with back-slashes, except for the third semi-colon which needs
two back-slashes, and, of course, if you are using unix where back-slashes
are special you type two of them whereever there is a semi-colon except
for the third semi-colon where you type four back-slashes.  Is that clear?"

This is obviously the way to go!

	don't make the confusion betweeen a business card orieneted form
	and a somehow "user oriented" interface.

	the ";" are meant for business card; no-one never said it should be
	used for UNIX or not UNIX based user interfaces.....
	please dont  confuse the two very different purpose
