ampersand in a sendmail body

interpreted = N
texte = I am having problems sending an ampersand in a sendmail context. It is wrapped in [url] tags before going in the data base but I keep getting & in the emails, even if I wrap the variable in [unurl] (or even [input]). I haven't been able to duplicate the problems in my tests, so I am doing something more complicated than I think I am. In my tests it saves to the data base as an & but in my working pages it saves it as %26 which then translates to & in the email. I have tried grep replacements (for just the amp; part) and wrapping the variable in every possible combination of [url] and [unrl] and even [input] tags. ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
