Ampersand symbol replaced by &

in email notifications

Brett,

I have noticed that ampersand symbol -> & is always replaced by & in all the new discussion email notifications.

I know this is a minor issue but I'm curious to know why this happens.

It's a by product. Back in june when I put the new software online, I spent almost two weeks working on character and entity encoding. I finally gave up as a lost cause for now as it just isn't possible to do in the real world yet. One of the off shoots of that was working on mime encoding those messages. Buried somewhere deep deep within the email routines, there is a transition taking place to keep the ampersand as a character entity.

That's the long story. The short one is that it is on the list of this to address and thanks for the report.
