ASP/HTML Email Problem

date posted 29th September 2002 17:25

I have a small problem sending HTML emails from ASP that I wondered if
anybody else had come across before.

Basically I have a script that sends newsletters to a clients customers.
Within that mail there will be a URL directly the customer to a page on the
site via a script that records the clickthrough - the url for this would
look something like this

http://www.jub-jub.com/launch.asp?c=3&e=10&href=www.crestleather.com

When this link is included in the mail and sent it works ok, unless a .
lands on a line boundary in the mail. Below is what I get

So when you click on the link it tries to send you to www.crestleathercom -
note the missing . between 'leather' and 'com'. If I increase the length of
some of the text that appears prior to the tag then my problem goes away
as the text positions change. I have got round it at the moment by
urlencoding the 'href' part of my querystring.

Does anyone know if this was the correct thing to do, or is there something
more obvious that I am doing wrong.
