I think the others have slightly misunderstood the problem - it's not that
the "returnURL" can contain ? and &, which confuses CF
What I'd do is use other characters, and then replace them before you use
the URL, e.g.
returnURL=/message/index.cfm{action=submit-response}message_id=foo}refURL=/f
oo/index.cfm
I've used { instead of ? and } insead of & - this should then be replaced;
returnURL=Replace(Replace(returnURL,"{","?","all"),"}","&","all")
That should help
