Hello,  
On certain browsers, I have been hearing our customers complain that when they try to input an email address, the @ character is  
getting converted to an “à” character

I cannot reproduce this error on any of the machines I have access to but I wanted to know if there were known issues regarding flash input fields  
and problems w/ special characters.

Thanks,  
Eric
