The Validator is stricter for those doctypes, so the ampersands would need to be encoded as HTML entities. I.e.: <a href="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">Test</a> - Chuck
