Hello,
I'm trying to resolve a problem that occurs when a PC user sends an email
message in MIME format that contains a link for the user to click on. If
that link has a trailing "=" in it, Entourage does not include the trailing
"=" and when the user clicks on it, the user gets an 404 error message.
Typically the Windows user will create an email message like:
*****
Click "here" to go to this web page to do something
*****
The word "here" will be formatted as a hyperlink.
The Mac recipient will see the message as:
*****
Click here to go to this web page to do something
<"http://blah.blah.blah/page/page?id=mmThInq"=>
*****
I've quoted the part that is visible to the Mac user as a hyperlink. The
word "here" originally formatted as a hyperlink becomes just plain text to
the Mac recipient. This happens consistently if the URL/hyperlink ends in
an equal.
I suspect this is shoddy parsing on the part of Entourage related to the
MIME formatting. If so I guess there will be no work-around?
