There is more to it than that.  Since I have a multi-master domain 
environment (with no default domain set), I have fully-qualified 
usernames.  They are now coming in without the separating \ in them 
($USER isn't getting escaped, I think).  So now my "DOMAIN1\E123456" is
showing up in the CVSMailer logs as "DOMAIN1E123456" and I need to 
update the users file accordingly.  Looks funny without any \'s in 
there.  I would also be concerned if I have a username like 
DOMAIN1\r123456 then what is going to be passed on?

The %'s in there do look funny too, and break the links as you pointed out.

Tony -- Are these going to be corrected?  I'll be watching for a 'latest 
updates' message :)

That works -- Thanks!
