    Hi gang

    I have an email script which sends out emails which is working fine except certain characters are missed out when viewing the email. EG.

    http://www.yourdomain.com/index.php?action=view_topic&tid=1

    will appear as

    http://www.yourdomain.com/index.php?action=ew_topic&tid=

    The above is what happens when I view the email in outlook. However if I send it to gmail for example, i get a different output so its as if different email clients are parsing the string differently. Can anyone shed any light on this to help me out?

    Thanks
    Phil

    maybe you should try urlencode function to write this address. for example you link is
    $url = 'http://www.yourdomain.com/index.php?action=view_topic&tid=1';
    after using urlencode
    $url = urlencode($url);
