Sure,  I didn't think about the case of a domain being appended
automatically, that kinda throws a monkey wrench into it.  If the
replyto field is empty it still passes through.  A fair number of users
here have been entering their name ie (Foo Bar) instead of an email
address into that field for some incomprehensible reason.  This was
intended as a way to stop that.  I guess it could check for an @ and if
there isn't one check for a space and if there is one then send an error
notification.  Does that seem to ugly ?
