Form Validation callbacks not passing returned value to next rule

Yep, well the way I solved this was to copy the valid_email method contents into my valid_hash callback, however your suggestion is better code, since it avoids code replication. So now the callback rule is called callback__decode_email_hash_rule and it first decrypts and then runs the email validation.

Code:
/**
     * decode_email_hash_rule
     * @param string $str
     * @param string $params
     * @return bool
     * This function wraps decode_hash_rule and _decode_hash to check for a valid Encrypted hash and then valid email if the encrypted hash decrypts correctly
     */
    function _decode_email_hash_rule($str='',$params='')
    {
    $r = $this->_decode_hash_rule($str, $params);
    if($r)
    {
        log_message('debug','decode_email_hash_rule returns: '.$r);
        return $this->form_validation->valid_email($r);
    }
    return FALSE;
    }
    
    /*
     * _decode_hash_rule
     * This is the form validation rule version of the _decode_hash method
     */
    function _decode_hash_rule($str='',$params='')
    {
    list($email_hash, $key) = explode(',', $params);
    if( ! $ret = $this->_decode_hash($email_hash, $key))
    {
        $this->form_validation->set_message('_decode_hash', lang('api_proper_encryption'));
        return FALSE;
    }
    return $ret;
    }
    /*
     * _decode_hash(str, params)
     * This is a form validation function that decodes the hashed email.
     * If the hashed string is correctly decoded, it is passed back as an unhashed
     * string, ready for any other validation rules (such as valid_email)#
     * if it fails, an error message is set, and the nothing is returned (string
     * will remained unchanged).
     */
    function _decode_hash($str='', $key='')
    {
        $decoded = $this->encrypt->decode($str, $key);
        if($decoded)
        {
            return $decoded;
        }
    else
    {
        return FALSE;
    }
    }

Since the codeigniter user guide says that each validation rule will pass the newly processed data to the next rule, I consider this a bug in the CI code.
