Hi

Just discovered a glitch I would appreciate help with. I am trying to add an affiliate link to a Mail message. I use the Insert Link function paste the link code into it (about 80-90 characters long) and when it is pasted in there are several instances where the numbers '25' have been inserted into the character string. This basically sends the link to a different page on the target site than the intended one.

I have checked the unaltered link directly on my browser and it works fine. No matter what I do, including editing the link in the Insert Link window it still gets the other characters added

As an example, if the character string includes a segment like this

- %3F% - the software comes back with - &253F%

Anybody have a clue what is going on?

Thanks so much
