Re: E-Mail Addresses...

[Chuck Lewis <clewis@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Mark,

That's what I was thinking. Makes it MUCH easier to setup (more flexibility) 
than
10 characters ! The last place I worked, we were an international company into
R&D and some of the scientists from around the world had LAST names that were 
20+
characters ! Novell was no problem but we ended up having to "chop" the profile
name to 10 for both the AS/400 AND the LAN(s) to cut down on confusion. Then get
into the common surnames and WOW - NO disrespect to those folks !! Just VERY 
hard
to manage in 10 characters ! :-)
