    coding Plian text email urls

    I'm sure this is an easy one, but I am a relative newcomer to asp.

    I am sending an email to subscibers of a news letter with the url of the
    latest newsletter in the email. this is built up in code. how do i encode it
    to include special characters such as spaces as %20. I have tried a simple
    replace routine but this gives errors on invalid chars.

    thanks

      Why does your URL have to have spaces???
      [color=blue]

      What "simple replace routine"? What "errors"? What "invalid chars"? Could
      you be more specific? What is the code that you tried? What is the string
      you passed into the function? What was the result?

      Have you considered using Server.URLEncod e?

          You need the HTMLEncode(strS tringToEncode) of the ASP Server object.

          Refer this link from the Platform SDK for details [Server.HTMLEnco de]:

              Further to my earlier post, also have a look at Server.URLEncod e -
              that should serve your needs better for encoding URLs - link given
              below.
