Hello all!

I'm having a VERY odd problem. I finally trained my users to not use bad passwords, and they are using them. Now I get this. I'm using 2 different Webmail Clients, postaci and squirrelmail.

The same accounts and passwords work fine with other IMAP clients such as Pine, Netscape and Outlook/OE.

It's something I've noticed while working with PHP; when the web browser sends the username & password via either POST or GET, the ' and " characters are "specially encoded" such that they don't get decoded properly when the server decodes the variable & value pairs for your web app.

Maybe it's something to ask the authors of postaci and squirrelmail about?
