There might be a mistake in the Regex (if you use regex :) for emailadress detecting.
I dont know the code but i can give you an Example :

test@test <-- detected as Email..but has no '.'
test@test.de <-- detected correctly

changing line #78 of inc_functions.asp from this:

if (Instr(strArray(counter), "@") > 0) and not(Instr(strArray(counter), "mailto:") > 0) and not(Instr(UCase(strArray(counter)), "[URL") > 0) then

to this:

if (Instr(strArray(counter), "@") > 0 and Instr(strArray(counter), ".") > 0) and not(Instr(strArray(counter), "mailto:") > 0) and not(Instr(UCase(strArray(counter)), "[URL") > 0) then

should help that.

of course someone could use something like this and it would still translate as an e-mail address:

te.st@test

Isn't it better to find where @ is and then look for a "." after @? I think it's the best way to try to find if a text is an e-mail.
