Hi Dan -

> Maybe some enhanced email checking may be in order for the future? :)

In the mean time, you can do it yourself - put something like this inside
the form in ord/checkout: 

   <input type=hidden name=mv_click value="Check Email">
   [set Check Email]
   [perl cgi]
      my $email = $Safe{'cgi'}{'email'};
      my $fixed = $email;
      $fixed =~ s/\s//g;  # remove whitespace
      my $out = '';
      if ( $fixed ne $email ) {
         $out .= "mv_todo=return\n";
         $out .= "mv_nextpage=ord/checkout\n";
         $out .= "email=$fixed\n";
      }
      $out;
   [/perl]
   [/set]

This example only removes spaces, but you should get the idea.  You could
also do fixups on a bunch of other variables within the same script. 

There's documentation about mv_click and mv_check in the "Forms" section
of the MiniVend docs.
