You can type text as well as replacement strings in the SMTP
Address Properties dialog box, in Address. Use the
format
userformat@domain
where userformat is optional and can contain text as well
as replacement strings, and domain is an alphanumeric domain
name.
The default user format string, if one is not specified, is %m.
A user format string of %% results in a replacement string of a
single percent sign.
Note Per the e-mail address
specification, RFC 821/822, invalid characters are removed from the
user name unless they are explicitly replaced using the %r user
format string.
The following table defines other available replacement strings
and lists SMTP addresses generated for the mailbox "daniels." For
this example, the display name is "Daniel B. Shelly," the surname
is "Shelly," the given name is "Daniel," and the middle initial is
"B."

Use %r to identify that you want to
substitute one character for another. The character you want to
remove is listed after the %r, shown by the x in the User Format
String column. The character you want to substitute is listed next,
represented by the y in the User Format String column. If x and y
are equal, the character will be deleted. |
