	(this assumes you have AOL selected as your default email application in the 'Internet' System Panel) If I open up the Apple AddressBook and select a buddy to email, when it opens up AOL and automatically pastes your buddies name in the AOL email box/field; the email address has odd charcters in it. Some are %3E and %3C. What is causing this? An easy workaround is to use Apple's Mail program to send email. I do this, but i would also like to be able to use AOL. Have any of you experienced this? Or is this a new bug i found? -Tiffany
