Re: How eventum handles emails

[Bryan Alsdorf]

Hi Matthew,

That is a bug in Eventum that wasn't stripping those values. The code 
was there, but it wasn't catching all situations. This fix will be in 
1.5.2. In the mean time, I have included the diff below so you can 
change the file locally.

Thanks for pointing this out to us.

Regards,
