I had a search and couldn't see this covered already, apologies if it's a known issue.

If I receive a "Gassing Station: Reply to your posting" email on my HTC Desire phone (POP3 email) the format of the link sent means it doesn't work correctly. The same email in another mail application looks fine and works.

This is only an issue for me on my phone which obviously screams "not our problem, it's your phone" but of all the sites that send me stuff like this PH is the only one that has an issue.

Example:

You can view the reply at http://www=2Epistonheads=2Ecom/gassing/topic=2Easp...

The "on your mobile" and "unsubscribe" links are equally mangled. Clearly it's replacing the "." with "=2E" but is this something anyone else sees?

It's not a known issue and is indeed a very odd one, made doubly odd by the fact that it isn't happening on my HTC Desire.

Can you forward one of the emails to me so that I can take a look? Also, does it work if you forward the email to your gmail account, or is it broken in both?

Happy to forward one to you for investigation, will also send it to my gmail to test that. What address should I use?

Got it thanks. It's mangled here as well, so I'll take a look and see what I can figure out.

No mad panic from my point of view, it was just something I thought I'd raise - the same email looks absolutely fine in the webmail client I use, in Outlook and in Thunderbird, my test email to gmail doesn't seem to have made it though so will have another go on that one.
