This happens whether I put the email address in by hand or copy it. It happened yesterday and today and has happened sometimes in the past. I put the email in my address book to see if that will help and it doesn't. This is on my Gmail account. If I go to my Comcast email, I have no problem.

Thisi is the notice that I get. The address ": linh at affordabletours com" in the "To" field was not recognized. Please make sure that all addresses are properly formed.

I sent you a test message. Did it arrive?

It came as a Mozilla support email. I did just type the email addresses in again today and they both worked. I read that sometimes Firefox puts in spaces when you just copy an email. Thanks for trying to answer my question.

I sent it normal email. Check your junk folder.

Copy As Plain Text {web link} Removes formatting from copied text.

No, copy only copies what you have marked. Be careful not to include spaces. That add-on can help with that.
