note 24465 rejected from ref.mail by jimw

Having read through all the notes above this is a new one!! I am sending mails with URLs in them and these URLs include query strings. When the mail arrives at the client, the URL has been altered with & being replaced by &amp;. I have checked the URL being passed to the mail function and it definitely does not have &amp; conversions in it. I am using the following headers and have tried both text/plain and text/html but at the client the message source code always includes &amp;. Why is the mail function performing a special chars conversion and how do I get around it? > $headers .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\n"; > $headers .= "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1\n"; > $headers .= "To: ".$email_address." > <".$email_address.">\n"; > $headers .= $from_header."\n"; > $headers .= "Reply-To: ".$this->m_vars->email_address_errors."\n"; Cheers, Ben Holidays-Exposed.com
