[support] ASCII encoding email addresses

[LESLIE FRIESEN]

Ursula, thank you so much for your help. I did not insert those "amps"....either Drupal did or the browser did.  I just tried re-publishing the node, taking out the subject line, and trying all three different input filters. Each time, the "amp" got re-inserted.  Does anyone know why this is happening?

P.S.  Carl, I do agree with you.  If I had my way, we'd be using invisimail.

Leslie,

I agree with all that Carl said.

Just wanted to point you to the error in your html:
If you remove the "amp;" parts of your script, and also remove the
last part (?subject=ascii), it works.
