See above.

But you are still missing my point. My point: ANY invalid telephone number in
the nodelist is unsafe. For the simple reason that classic POTS mailers were
designed under the assumption that the content of field 7 of the nodelist is
either a valid dialable telephone number or the string -Unpublished-.

Anything other than that is unsafe because in general the result is
unpredictable.



Cheers, Michiel
