Here is another known issue we are working to fix these days. Issue Entourage 2008 users are reporting that it is stripping parts of hyperlinks (URLs) in messagesenCommunityServer 2.1 SP1 (Build: 61025.2)http://blogs.technet.com/amir/archive/2008/07/17/parts-of-hyperlink-after-ampersand-sign-are-stripped-in-entourage-2008.aspx#3109342Thu, 21 Aug 2008 02:36:10 GMTd5e57398-b9ef-4490-9955-07cbb4e4a80d:3109342Kent Crispin<p>Hopefully the update actually fixes the problem, but given the above explanation of the cause, I'm not optimistic: [ampersand] is supposed to be encoded as [ampersand]amp; in *html*; indeed, using a browser, when you click on a link in a html document, a browser will use the *rendered* form of the url, rather than the *source* form. &nbsp;But Entourage does its dirty work even in absolutely plain text emails, with no html at all. &nbsp;With such plain text emails you *can't* encode the ampersand, because if you cut and paste the URL into a browser, the browser will send the encoded form to the server, and, in general, that fails. &nbsp;The problem seems to be that Entourage gratuitously changes the plain text to html, and then converts it back, but fails in one of the conversions...</p>http://blogs.technet.com/amir/archive/2008/07/17/parts-of-hyperlink-after-ampersand-sign-are-stripped-in-entourage-2008.aspx#3110087Fri, 22 Aug 2008 09:26:41 GMTd5e57398-b9ef-4490-9955-07cbb4e4a80d:3110087amir<p>Kent,</p> <p>The 12.1.2 Update has fixed this issue, download &amp; install it and you will be good to go. The fix was to take into account any unexpected yet possible scenarios so that Entourage can better handle e-mails with such characters in hyperlinks.</p>
