Hi All,
When ever I send a link through email,the url space,brackets are replaced with special characters as %2,%xx value,so do any of you know how to avoid them from happening?When we click on link of such link sent via email due to these special characters it gives error saying page not found?

Regards,
Rashmi

Does this happen through a computer at your job? The reason I'm asking is employment email systems usually have tracking and sampling software included so that the employer can watch and track what you're doing. It sounds to me like some kind of indentification is being added to your messages.

%20 is the html equivalent for the space character in an html link. Whenever you type a space in the address bar of a browser, it automatically converts it to %20, i'm not sure why you get the page not found error but when you click the link and your browser opens, what link is displayed in the address bar of the browser? Please check and post it here so we can move on from there.

ya when I click the space and other special characters like [],{},() get encoding to some other thing
here is the sample url in address bar when I click the link from outlook or in word
http://localhost/services/testURL.asp?request=rss&property%5b0%5d=supported_release&value%5b0%5d=G06.21

Note: %5b is the encoded character added to special character "["
