It's new behaviour to do that - don't like it either and I think Mark will
take a patch to adjust.

But in practice it doesn't seem to matter - at least for FWD, Packet8,
iConnecthere that I use.  They all seem to recognise who you are just by
reference to the username part of the From URI.

Does your proxy want to match the entire URI to recognise the user?

Like register => jo at myhouse.com:bob:secret ?

I don't think it can currently be done...  I'm not so sure why you need
that, though?
