The best part is that it's still his name at a common domain. I didn't bother with the code, but you can pick the common letters and match the positions to be pretty confident. The hardest part is his middle initial.

- brdrak 13y agoFunny, I also didn't need the code to translate the scrambled address. I knew his name so that right away gave me most of it: tufqifo.n.ejfim@hnbjm.dpn stephen.?.diehl@?????.??? since m=l in the name, assumed the same for domain, considering it's the most popular email service, gmail.com my first guess. since n=m in the domain name, I assumed the same for the middle initial, which gave away the whole thing.

- vacri 13y agoWith the info you have, you can easily figure out the cipher and apply it to the middle initial. This being said, it still means a recruiter has to go to some effort to scan the code to find where the ciphertext is and examine it. I imagine webmaster@stephendiehl.com would also get to him.
