I am sending an email from my server, whose source is as follows:
<a href="http://mydomain.com/myurl?email=my%40my.com">http://mydomain.com/myurl?email=my%40my.com</a>
In all other browsers, when I click on a link in an email, it opens:
http://mydomain.com/myurl?email=my%40my.com
However, in Firefox 4, the link is interpreted as:
http://mydomain.com/myurl?email=my@my.com
This obviously breaks the script at the url. Why does Firefox put an @ sign instead of using a shielded form, and how can I behave as I should?
Edit:
It seems that this is only a problem when Hotmail is used as a client to open mail inside Firefox.
Does anyone else know about this issue with Firefox and Hotmail?
