Hi, I love your site and use it often to check HTML email code. One area I cannot find help with is the way your validator handles URLs with UTM code. For example, placing the following URL in a link causes 4 Errors and 6 warning(s): https://www.lps.upenn.edu/about/events/pre-health-post-baccalaureate-programs-virtual-information-session?utm_source=asda&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=prehealth_asda_email It looks like the ampersand is the main culprit and the validator rule "to escape all instances." When I click your "Ampersands in URLs" link, I get a dead link: https://www.htmlhelp.com/tools/validator/problems.html#amp For tracking purposes, I cannot alter the URL (or the ampersand code) in any way. Can you tell me how I can use the tracking URLs and still pass validation, if possible? Or any best practices? I know URLs with UTM snippets are popular and want to keep my code as tight as possible.
