Dear Sogo community,

My provider is offering us Sogo as a groupware user interface for mail, 
contacts and calendar, and I am very happy with it! But there is one little 
technical detail that is regularly creating trouble: ampersand signs in links 
that I am receiving by mail.

So what is happening: I receive a mail with a link, click on it - and do not 
get anything! Then I use some other mail program, receive the mail, click on 
the link - and everything is just fine.

And looking into details I see that SoGo was just converting an ampersand sign 
& which is part of the link into & while other mailers simply kept it as it 
is.

I had already a conversation with the sender of such a mail - and they say of 
course that this is the fault of my mail program, ie. SoGo! And I am afraid 
that I will hear now from the SoGo community that this is the fault of those 
people who send me links containing & chars - because that is a special 
character in HTML code, so it is not correct to include it without some kind of 
escaping. Still there are many links that contain & chars in order to pass 
parameters to some PHP code!

Not finding any mention about "ampersand" in the issues tracker, I have a 
tendency to enter this as a SoGo bug, but I did not do so yet; rather I want to 
hear some expert opinions about the subject here!

Best regards,
Cornelis
