Good advice. Thanks Aparajita. Just for the record, I copied the lower portion of your fusebox.makeURL routine, and created a new library method strictly for creating links for emails. That's the first I've ever seen a need for your fusebox.setURLFactory method. I'd rather stick with the semicolons for internal links. I'm just used to them, and I think they look better. Besides, your "build query string" method generates semicolons.
