Re: reducing string length

I thought about the following:
first 10 chars + "..@.." + last 10 chars

what rules do you want to use?

substring(.,1,25) will shorten it but perhaps that isn't what tou need,
although since the shortened email presumably won't actually work,
perhaps that is OK and it doesn't matter how it is shortened?
