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!
