I'm pretty sure this is an SMTP server problem but as the source is from
Witango and I've had help from this list before I thought I'd run it by you.

I create an HTML newsletter from a content management system and email it to
a group of subscribers. We're pretty strict on this sort of thin in Aus so
we have to include an 'unsubscribe' option in the mailout.

The HTML code looks like this:

<P>Click <A 
HREF='http://www.photoimaging.com.au/newsletter/unsubscribe.taf?_function=un
sub&email=<@VAR SCOPE="local" NAME="thisEmail">'>here</A> to
unsubscribe.</P>

It seems to create a valid link with the correct email address as an
argument in HTML, but then the SMTP server seems to munge some of them. For
example, the address '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' looks fine in HTML but the mail
file created looks like this:

 <P>Click <A=20
      =
href=3D'ttp://www.domain.com.au/newsletter/unsubscribe.taf?_functio=
n=3Dsub&amp;[EMAIL PROTECTED]"'>here</A>=20
      to unsubscribe.</P>

Note it has dropped the 'h' from http and taken 've' or 'ev' from 'evep'

I assume this is an encoding gremlin due to the way the SMTP server
interprets HTML but don't know how to escape this text so the SMTP server
doesn't muck about with it.

Any ideas.
