Re: Autoheader @ interpolation

[Carlos Velasco]

Hi Akim,

try to do it this way:

AH_TOP([Email: address@hidden)

In the tests below you use the "@" with space before.

However, the patch I provided does not work, as the function patched is also 
used by Quadrigraphs.

Please, let me know if you can reproduce the problem.

Regards,
Carlos Velasco
