Hi Alan,

If you look at the webpage for kern/79660 for example you will notice
that the originator field is being filled by your email name
(Alan Larson) and your email address. When you do a query on:
Alan Larson as originator (including spaces, which are converted to %20)
you will find your query's. The email address itself is not attached in
the actual PR db, there only Alan Larson is mentioned.
