Ampersand "&"

[Ducray]

I have a form on a web page with several text input fields. When the form is submitted, besides creating an entry in the Filemaker database, it also sends me an email.

When an ampersand is input in one of the fields (e.g. Smith & Weston) the numeric code "&" appears in the email I receive (e.g. Smith & Weston) in place of the ampersand.

Any help would be appreciated in resolving how I can avoid receiving the numeric code "&#38".

Thanks

Mike

The problem has to do with MIME encoding. In this case the mailer is not making the proper conversion. To add a little extra to this is that Mac and PC mailers encode differently. I would look at the way you are sending this to see what encoding they are doing.

I used a FM plug-in for mail that broke at one point until the developer added the correct encoding.
