in reply to reply-to address being truncated

You are probably using the email like this: 
  $email="address@host.name.com" ;

In this case, perl interprets "@host" as access to an array, which you probably don't have, so it is empty.

Using strict and warnings would help in this case.

To resolve, use single-quotes (perl does not interpolate the contents).

    my mistake...my code actually looks like: 
    $email = "address\@host.name.com";

    [download]
    the text "host.name" is removed and I get 'address@name.com'.

      I don't understand how that could fail.

      Could you post an actual code snipped, and/or run debug and examine what it actually contains ?
