Why should an email app give a hoot about SGML > entities? It does not apply. Perhaps SGML is broken... This is correct. The problem is not that URL's cannot contain ampersands -- this is a perfectly valid method to pass URL's to eudora from applications other than HTML. The point is that when embedding URLs in HTML, we need to do so in a way which is valid HTML as well as a valid URL. It is a failure of _the_browser_ if it finds & in a URL within an HTML document and does not translate it to &. It is not eudora's responsibility to do this. -- Jim Wise jim.wise@turner.com
