• In the lab, I somehow could not connect to the cvs server and cannot create the patch. Here is what before and after code.

176     if (inString.FindChar('.', pos) != kNotFound) // if we have a '.' after the @ sign....
176     if (inString.FindChar('.', pos) != kNotFound && inString.Find("..") == kNotFound) // if we have a '.' after the @ sign....
