Re^2: Shorten email address

supercoderhaxor@np.net could be condensed to like 'superc...@np.net'. Thinking about this more it seems like I would want to introduce a constant length, and condense the address on either side of the @ sign to fit that length.

Or maybe condense both sides by a number of characters... May be more pleasing to the eye super...@some... .:\| If it can't be fixed .. Don't break it \|:.	[reply]

Yes, one approach could be set a constant length and then shorten both sides: 1 char for the @, 1 for the dot, 2-4 for the ending, plus at least one char for each name and domain - that's minimum 8 chars. For 10 chars, you can set the length of the name/domain to 2 each, etc. Depends on your specific needs.	[reply]
