I did not say that my solution would work; I wrote, "you MIGHT be able".
I did not test because I have no idea if the address
augusta china@test.com
is a valid e-mail address or one that was sanitized for the posting.
I would never have a userid portion of an e-mail address that contains
a blank, and I know of no such address. I was not sure that any test I
ran would give me valid results.
