asp_cdo thread: CDONTS removes the dot after www

Message #1 by "Grundy, Martin" <martin.grundy@s...> on Tue, 9 Oct 2001 09:34:18 +0100

Does anybody know why sending the following e-mail via an ASP page:



<html>

<head>

<title>CDONTS Removes the DOT</title>

</head>

<body>

<h1>CDONTS Removes the DOT</h1>

<%HTMLa = "<html>"

HTMLa = HTMLa & "<head>"

HTMLa = HTMLa & "<title>Sample HTML e-Mail</title>"

HTMLa = HTMLa & "</head>"

HTMLa = HTMLa & "<body><blockquote>"



HTMLb = "<p><font color='#000000' face='Arial' size='2'>Source: ARC
<ahref='http://www.amrresearch.com/preview/010920alert654.htm'>http://www.amrr

esearch.com/preview/010920alert654.htm</a>  </font></p>"



HTMLc = "</blockquote></body>"

HTMLc = HTMLc & "</html>" 



set myMail = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")

myMail.From = "martin.grundy@s..."

myMail.To = "martin.grundy@s..."

myMail.subject = "BodyFormat = 0, MailFormat = 0"

myMail.BodyFormat = 0

myMail.MailFormat = 0

myMail.Body = HTMLa & HTMLb & HTMLc

myMail.Send

set myMail = Nothing



%>

</body>

</html>



removes the dot between "www" and "amrresearch" so that the receiver of the

mail sees:



	Source: ARC http://wwwamrresearch.com/preview/010920alert654.htm



	instead of



	Source: ARC http://www.amrresearch.com/preview/010920alert654.htm

	?



This is a problem because for certain e-mail receivers, the internet link is

thus invalidated.



Note that this does not happen for other internet links sent in the same way

nor if "amrresearch" is artificially reduced to say "amr".

Have you tried running Server.HTMLEncode on the strings before sending them?

Tomm,



Thanks for the suggestion. I have finally had a chance to try 

Server.URLencode on the http reference, but now instead of



http://wwwamrresearch.com/preview/010920alert654.htm



I get



http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eamrresearch%2Ecom%2Fpreview%2F010920alert654%2Ehtm



which is, I suppose, what I asked for!



(I am expecting



http://www.amrresearch.com/preview/010920alert654.htm



i.e. with a dot after www).



Any other ideas?

Weird... can you post the code again where you're making the a link? This

shouldn't be this problematic.
