Strange login problem IE7 only

[Ryk]

Anyone any ideas why a customer with an email addy in the format [email protected] can login to their store account using Firefox and IE6, but not IE7?

In IE7, the message is "Sorry, there is no match for that email address and/or password."

Maybe it isn't the hyphen? I use my [email protected] all the time.

Thanks Kim - that reinforces my own opinion that it isn't the hyphen.

Perhaps it's the multiple periods/full stops after the @?

Whatever it is, it seems odd to me that it only happens in IE7, unless there is some specific setting in the browser that needs changing.

That would be the direction I would look.
