Unicode in mailto:

[Roy]

Has anyone seen the following problem and if so how did
they fix the problem ?

If I have a mailto: link in some html code such as

<a href="mailto:roy%40mywebsite%2ecom"> roy

In that the 'dot' and 'at' symbols have been replaced
with the unicode versions. When viewing this link in IE 6
I get a nice translation to (e-mail address removed) in the
status bar at the bottom of the page.

But when you click on the link, in outlook 2000 you get
roy%40mywebsite%2ecom in the to box. This is happening on
some of our clients PCs but is not happening on others,
all should have been setup the same but obviously are not.

Have you any clues to help me please

Roy

In Tools - Options - Mail Format tab - Internet Format - are you sending as
plain text or HTML? Is uuencode selected? This also may be a profile
specific problem. Try logging in as a different user and using Outlook to
see if it still exists.
