[Building Sakai] EmailService patch

[Adrian Fish]

Hi David,

Ah, okay. That would explain why one of my test logins keeps getting 
lost :) I've been rebuilding the stack quite frequently recently and 
just thought that I had damaged the database somehow. I'll have a play 
with patching OneWayHasEncode, as you suggested in the ticket.

Many, many thanks for pointing that out.

Cheers,

Adrian.
