Hi

I have an HTML email which needs to be sent out and I am finding problems it.

The first is that in some email viewers (e.g. hotmail, lycos), they are messing up my links.

e.g. This link:

<a href="...link.asp?NewsID=463">The Link</a>

is being changed to:

<a href="...link.asp?NewsIDF3">The Link</a>

Does anyone have any suggestions whats going on?

Thanks

Try turning the = into &amp;#61;

Cheers. That works for anchors. Now for my next question.

In lycos, it changes all the HTML tags equal signs into garbage.
i.e.
<table width="600"> gets turned into
<table widthÓ600">

If I change these into = then it works, however, it does not work in Outlook or Hotmail.

Do i need to specify a character set? if so, where? If i define anything in HEAD tags they normally get stripped out.
