Characters (&at) Deleted from Emails

[jmccoggins]

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: Power PC
Email Client: pop

I'm using Entourage 2008 v12.1.1 and have run into a problem with characters being stripped from my emails.

Specifically, I create electronic signature jobs that are provided to the signers via emailed links containing a long string of characters. When I receive this link into Entourage, however, 3 of these characters (&at) are always stripped from the link.

If I view the email source, the link is intact and accurately includes the &at characters.

Any ideas?

hi,

this is a known problem with the current version of Entourage. Any text
after the "&" sign in a URL gets stripped. There is nothing you can do at
the moment, except wait for a fix.

And, as it turns out, this fix was released only a few hours ago. Make sure
to update Entourage and see if the problem persists.
