[horde] Username frombackend and tobackend

[sbbe83]

Sorry I guess I didn't really provide a question. My question is how can I 
use a hook to take the username in the sql authentication backend that is in 
the format of username at domain.com and remove the @domain.com so that users 
do not need to use the full username at domain.com as their login information? 
I had tried a few things (previous post) and nothing seems to work. Any 
ideas? Thanks.
